RIP to the two young climbers who died on Mt Taranaki back home. There seem to have been many losses lately. Those of us who spend a lot of time in the mountains know that beauty and tragedy can be a micro second apart. I've had four decades in the mountains, my respect only grows, my awe already absolute. While we'd all like to be as sure footed as a snow leopard there is always the realization that the mountains can be unforgiving, when it's time, it's time. Condolences to the families, they understood that this pair departed doing something they loved. It's not a feeling to describe, only to know...
