Shawn was one of my early climbing partners. I still have a color print that he made of me bouldering in 1975, he had printed it in his own home color photo lab. Shawn was a exceptionally gifted boulderer, a master of mantles and the thin crack. Condolences to family and friends.

Shawn was really an enthusiastic person when it came to anything he was doing and shared his enthusiasm with everyone, he new how to live life to the hilt. Sad news to lose Shawn at such a young age he was a genuinely positive person, I can remember only fun and good times even when things weren't going to well. Rest in peace brother.

I also have a color print Shawn "processed" in his bathroom sink. Ever see the pics he took at the San Diego zoo? He had a great eye.

RIP Shawn!
Very sad news about a very talented person. Seemed like what ever Shawn did (climbing, music, photos) he did better than average. I feel sad I will not get to see him again.

Shawn was an ultra talented guy. I will miss him. I'm sure he is tickling the ivories in a better place. Anyone who heard him play his tune Toulumne knows.

I wish I had only one of Shawns talents, a great friend, musician, photographer, climber, brother and person. I can't remember if I laughed harder when the fish was talking or Shawn, He did have some great one liners. Those of us who were lucky to have known him will greatly miss him.
see ya in the next one Shawn

Man if you never knew Shawn CURTIS you missed a piece of climbing history. Shawn was a one of a kind,never heard him spray about his ability, unless he was down playing it, never heard the word NO come out of his mouth if you were asking a favor, always had pretty much an open door policy if you needed a place to crash (remember the unit you guys had in the "Del Mar" area Vato?)and lastly was a great FRIEND to all he chose to be close to. He was also a GREAT musician and a fabulous photographer. More talent packed into one package than I've ever known. Funny as hell too. Do yer self a favor and do some research, talk to some people from that "era" 70's and 80's and find out more about him, not famous, but deinately put his mark in his time.
When ever I go into the Ahwahnee I can hear Shawn playing the grand........them were the days!

Yeah Ron! You remember "The Ranch" in Del Mar? It was a cool place in it's time! Even "Too Strong Dave" lived there for a spell, amongst many others!

yep, very interesting living there with the boys Vato. It was always interesting to see the same wildlife in the house that we would see outside. Go figure
