I would like to share one of his favorite quotes that he would send to
his
climbing buddies:

"And as life in the valley,
the real world, if that is what it is,
erodes the transient lingering
memory of your last climb
you understand that you must
go back and stand
under the shadowed wall again
and commit everything."
- Scott Kinkele

He had a passion for life, a quest for challenges, a big grin, and an
even
bigger heart. - And he could wax poetic on many occasions. I believe
that
he is on a much higher plane now that rivals any mountain.

We will all miss him deeply. ~
