My stomach sank the second I hear the news. I just climbed with John on the 27th a true inspiration to all! I will always remember the great effect you have had on my life. You will be missed! Condolences to family and everyone he touched with his life.

RIP. bless.

Holy SHIT! I don't even know how to respond. It has been quite a rough season in the climbing community. RIP.

RIP best wishes to family and friends.
