Too short but well lived is still better than long and boring.

Mountains are big and humans are small. We walk among the giants, and speak of conquest, of overcoming, of heroic deeds. But in the end, we are merely tolerated, and the slightest geological hiccup is our undoing. All climbers know this. It sounds as if Carlyle was where she wanted to be, doing what she wanted to do, as we all have been. R.I.P.

I met Carlyle a couple years ago in El Potrero Chico. I can't say I knew her well by any means but I thought she was a very cool gal. Fun to talk to, thoughtful, and a very skilled climber. I read about her accident while clicking through the numerous Compressor articles on the internet. Her loss is much, much bigger than a hundred bolts.
