This is bad news. There's been alot of deer hits this year. The deer are said to be backed up waiting for the snow to melt to move higher.
Very sad.

Really sorry to here this tragic news. I met John years ago at B. Harrington's & R. Wheelers house in Bishop one hot August(1978)afternoon. We stocked up on some cold brews, and spotted one another in the shade of various boulders up in the Milks. We had a great time that afternoon...R.I.P. John!

Just saw John on the 31st in Bishop, was the kind and smiley John I'd known for 30 yrs. I always enjoyed walking into Lee Vining Canyon and smelling his pipe in the old days. A nice guy, a good alpine climber, and a great asset to the eastside climbing/guiding community.
The Lord whispered his name and his days here were complete.

Very sorry to hear this. I took a climbing class from John, and Allan way back in 1978. A few years later, a friend and I were going in to climb the Swiss arete. John was coming out with a client, but he recognized me.
I saw John at the parking lot in LVC about four or five years ago. He wasn't doing to good, and was having to sell his gear to make ends meet.
Then, I think it was about three years ago I saw him at the AAC gathering in TM. He was doing alot better.
