This is just so sad.
I climbed with Woody one time. I had a great time asking about all the stories in the original JT guidebook I had read over and over as a high school kid. That was three years ago. I had always thought I would like to hook up with him again some weekend.
I hope Woody's family and friends can find peace with this soon.

I did not know Woody but he did post this on a thread i had started about songs that you would like to have played at your funeral.
"" Waltzing Matilda ". I love that song. It should be the Aussie national anthem."
how sad .
Slim Dusty does a classic version here.

I happened upon Woody last year in a cafe in Joshua Tree and I am very glad I got the chance to chat with him. I was delighted to finally meet the person whose name I still recognized, 35 years later, from the first guidebook I ever bought.
My heart goes out to his family and friends for this terrible loss.

When you are gone beyond this place
and left this world of glorious joy's and greysome woes,
To be remembered well and good by your dear friends
that is the greatest crown that god bestows.
Tribute to Woody

Woody was the second post on Jennie's Best Wishes To Dirtineye thread.
"Best wishes to Dirtineye. I've seen a couple of friends go through what he's suffering, and he's got my sympathy."

Wow. I too am totally stunned. Joshua Tree has lost an icon. He will not soon be forgotten.
Thanks for posting the pictures. It's wonderful to see them. Woody was a climber. He was climbing in a place he loved.
Every time I hang with Locker and Dwain there is always a great Woody story. I regret that I never got to climb with him.
My heartfelt condolences Woody's friends and family.
Edit to add: I wish a speedy recovery to Al who I climbed with once several years ago.

so sad to hear this. my condolences to his immediate family, and to Locker, Cosmic, and TGT.
I've climbed in the Tree for thirty years, and never met Woody. I wish I had though.

ropeburn, thanks for more special pics and memories of this great guy. Thinking now of each family member and praying that their hearts ache will be comforted by the reaching out to them in little and big ways from those that care.
When the info comes down will someone post the service times if having one. Also if there is a special cause Woody cared about that we can contribute to in memory of ......

I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but I must have done some of his routes.
Maybe some of you could throw out some route names from his legacy...
RIP, Brad Huys
