I don't know Ian, but I sure wish I did. And, seeing all of you reaching out to him, is amazing. Makes me wish I knew each of you.
Wishes of peace to Ian and his loved ones. climbski2, said it beautifully:
We all will follow someday and that is a fact, but it seems you get the lead on this pitch.

Even three days ago he told us he thought he might be able to climb again. You will Ian, you will.
Beautifully said, Audrey...

Climbers Rise Above Cancer. Even when we feel like we fail to red-point, let alone on-site, we WILL try again. That is the difference between a soul who collapses and a soul who soars.
Disaster Master Paul shared this with me when we were both going through chemo. Clearly, Ian, is a soul that soars.

it is unfortunate he cannot do any more chemo because of the toll it took on his immune system and the resulting complications this time around, but he will indeed continue to SOAR, just in a different dimension...

I've never met Charlie, but I know some of the guys on this thread who know him and my heart breaks to hear of the struggle he's going through. It seems as if he has a great crew on this journey and I hope he sails boldy and bravely along the route that is ahead of him. May he have many more days of reflection, laughter and hope in the days weeks and hopefully years ahead. Never stop holding out for miracles. They happen. May God grant him and all those around him strength in the coming days.

so nicely said Andy and thank you. I wish Ian could read all these messages, and see the photos and videos that have been posted - you are an amazing community and meant so much to him, and I know he can feel all of it as he said he could when he was on life support. When his wife gets a chance to read these I know she will be deeply touched.
here is the fundraiser link again. Ian's wife took a leave of absence from her job several weeks ago to take care of him, so every little bit helps.

God speed...I hope his dream will continue to live on through all of you.
