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. 0 Flag Quote

	Kevin Craig · Jan 17, 2012 · Unknown Hometown · Joined Mar 2002 · Points: 325 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 Amigo. 0 Flag Quote
