I first met Lee in the WAC back country class in 2006. I recall being impressed with his knowledge and with how generously he shared it, but mostly I recall how his smile made me feel welcome. My climbs with Lee were few but memorable. It seemed a privilege then to be in his company—a feeling which now is only amplified. He taught me how to properly set a nut and treated me as an equal, noob though I was.

Thank you, Lee.
