It's one of our own here, so I thought you would want to know sooner than later.

Really, really horrible news.

What terrible news to hear that Jack has passed away.

PS: I posted it up over on the taco as I'm sure he had a lot of friends over there as well

FUUUUCK!!

Noooo!!

Wow, terribly sad news. Jack was a legendary climber and I will miss his well grounded advice here on MP. RIP Jack, and condolences to his family. You will be missed.

RIP Jack. You will be missed.

I will miss you! RIP brother.

Damn this bites :( RIP Jack.

RIP and condolences to all his family and friends.

That is so sad.

More news here.

This is a great loss!

very sad loss

RIP Jack, and thank you for everything you gave to us.

Wow, i just took two climbing clinics with him in ouray. He was a great teacher, and a really cool guy. This is very sad

This is very sad. I'm sorry for his family.

RIP mr Roberts

wow and his profile was logged into only four days ago. sad

Wow. My heart just sunk.. I was fortunate enough to have spent some time around Jack and am devastated by this news. He was one of the most solid individuals I have ever met in the hills. Another legend lost in pursuit of their passion. My condolences go out to the Roberts family.

I always enjoyed running into Jack while climbing or in town. He will be missed. Adios Jack.

Sad news indeed. As I've said elsewhere, a great loss to the community. Jack made many valuable contributions and was a friend and mentor to many. I only had the privilege of roping up with him a couple of times, but they were fun days, and we always had enjoyable conversations about the past and future of climbing and many other topics. It was always a pleasure running into him and he always took the time to talk. I'm so glad that I got to see him one more time only days before this tragic event. An important reminder that we never know when it will be our last chance to share a meeting with our friends - never waste an opportunity.

RIP, Mr. Roberts, we will miss you here on MP :"(

Well that's a bummer, Condolences to his family and friends.

Jack was a renegade, did things his own way on his own.......

Bummer anyone dies while climbing.........

If you were "out" climbing in Colorado you always came across him, I've crossed path's with him numerous times, in the dark with a headlamp on, in Eldo, RMNP, Cody......BRC.....

So sad.......

This kind of news always just stops me in my tracks. I'm at a loss for words. I crossed paths with Jack many times over the many years of climbing. Always one of the good guys, no bull, rock solid. The tribe is getting thinner every year. Condolences to his wife.

I Can't F-in Believe It!

Such a serious loss to all, stay strong Pam, as weak as my greatest thoughts and condolences are they are all with you.

Fly Free and keep Climbing Jack!

Sigh... here in the Wasatch Jack, along with Mugs Stump put up Nob Job, a very bold runnout classic slab route high on the Thumb. His winter ascent of the Grand Central Couloir on Mt. Kitchner in Canada was legendary. His contributions to MP will be missed...very sad.
