I'd heard of him, but never met.
Sounds like an ace of a great dude.
We'll miss you, Guy.
All the Best to his family & friends.

Haven't been on this for a bit - travelling with kids on hockey tournament expeditions and currently re-habbing a separated shoulder from my own on ice follies. Started going through the back list to find this shocker.
Didn't know him but knew of him of course = definitely an excellent bloke who added big value to the lives of those around him. His spirit will continue in the Canadian climbing community though and friends will remember well his exploits as they forge their own connection with ice and rock. Condolences to all his family and others he touched along the trail.

Conrad, thank you for sharing... I am deeply sorry for the loss of your friend.

For folks unfamiliar with Hyalite canyon,
Silken Falls is on the first rock bench above the trees in the far right hand side of that photo.

Ps. It was nice to meet you in the Canyon parking lot around Thanksgiving. You have been a hero and an inspiration of mine for nearly two decades. Thanks for sharing a beer with us and hanging out. Best wishes.

I'm saddened to hear about Guy's passing.
Don't know where we first met, ice climbing in Field, Josh, Squamish, I forget. What a genuinely decent and gentle man.
He set a fine example and I'll miss him.
Sympathies and condolences to his family and all fortunate enough to have known him.
