I had this really cool poster of Doug soloing Hells Lum in full conditions,1972 I think, lost it somehow...he crushed it at the highest levels in his life, especially as an environmental philanthropist, wow what a legacy...to leave..happy he went out quick though, in the heart of Paradise...

Does anyone have contact information for his brother John Tompkins who used to climb with me in the Tetons in the summer when I first got to know Doug?
