Merry Christmas and happy holidays. I pray that you are all with your families and having a wonderful holiday this year. Please appreciate this time with your families and loved ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next time you are asked to climb when you don\u2019t\u2019 feel the weather is right or things are going wrong or if you have a gut feeling that something is wrong. Next time you know something is wrong, please put your life first.<\/span><\/p>\n

I put this together to remember the ones we lost this year. I don\u2019t want the families to relive bad memories, if they do I apologize. I only want you all to remember and say a prayer for these families on this day. I am doing this to honor their memories as the hard workers they were and that they will not be forgotten. I am doing this to make a point that things need to get better. I know many climbers don\u2019t want change because they may be getting a steady paycheck right now. Just remember that in just a few seconds that could all change.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would like you all to appreciate your time with your families this holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n
