I limped into a REI show presented by Jeff sometime back. I was suffering from a bout with siatica. As I hobbled in with a cane, Jeff bobbed by me using a cane as well. After talking with him about the challenges he faces, I quit using the cane. Jeff is truly one of "our" greats. An Icon. Thanks for your contributions to "our" shared passion. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on that book. How much longer, Jeff?

This thread is an example of that. Collectively and individually you've filled my fuel tanks to the top. I hope I can do something similar for all of you, someday.
You already have! You made the games we play REAL!

What I should have said, is that it's past MY bedtime, Anastasia.
Don't let the bed-bug bite...

There once was a climber named Lowe
And off to the mountains he'd go
He said, "Rock is nice,
But I prefer ice,
As long as its steep, dont'cha know."

What great stuff. Jeff, thanks for being an inspiration to so many all these years. I won't name all the names, but I always appreciated the big dogs that would treat us mortals like fellow climbers instead of annoying nOObs who were only after their autograph. I have met both types, but thank the great spirit, in climbing, there have always been more of the former group. Thanks,
Bruce

Metanoia is a stunning and powerful movie. A fitting tribute to one of the best climbers of all time.

Concur with Philo. The world is a much better place with Jeff Lowe in it. What an amazing human being, who also happens to be a climber. Wishing the best for him.

The short story is that Jeff went into surgery July 20th to have a feeding tube implanted. The port never worked and after 3 days of no nutrition and an abdomen distended from infection he went to the hospital where he has developed another round of pneumonia. He seemed to be doing better but took a turn for the worse today.
Prayers to you Jeff.

The change in his condition to intensive care only just occurred within the last few hours.
Let's hear it for the man.
