Blown away by stunning glacier beauty... The most phantastic mountain climb I have ever done. And many agree - the best views from the summit to be had anywhere!

Hello, Christian. I am a neighbor to the grandparents of one of the young men who died. I've just been helping them view and save some of your photos. Could you send me or tell me where to find an unedited version of this photo? Thanks! dmower@email.com

Dear Captain Chris,
My name is Brian and I was very good friends of Kristen and Dustin, two of the climbers, if it's not too much to ask would you mind sending me a high res. file of this photo to bab88@nau.edu.
I would be very grateful.

Sincerely,
Brian Basche
