Wow...ugh. Doesn't seem right.

Used to see him especially 'round Little Cottonwood bouldering. Some of us called him "suspenders dude".

RIP to a swole American legend.

I'm so sorry to hear this.

I had never met him, but always felt his presence at Woodson.

RIP to a True American Legend.

Bob was a legend to many of us who grew up in Southern California. If you spent any time at Mt Woodson you probably ran into him and his wide circle of friends.

R.I.P. Bob, you will be missed dearly.

I don't have the time or contacts to put it together, but a "BVB Woodson Memorial Shindig" would be really cool.

Very sad day. I knew Bob as a climber..but lately as a dad to his two kids. He was a master at both. Today we grieve..hard.

It was wonderful to catch up with Bob a few years ago at the Woodson Party in Valley Center. He was kind to take time and share some stories with me about my husband, Dan.

Everyone has pretty much said everything a person could about BVB here and on FB. An enormously gifted human in so many ways, perhaps with a few demons to match. I especially liked his so very straight forward perspective and the words to match.

But where are the words we need now to express the grief and loss? lynnie
