I posted this photo several years ago, titled "It's not who you think"
I worked for several summers as the senior hiking director at Cheley Camp Colorado, back in the mid 70's, and had the joy of being paid ( sort of),for taking 8-12 HS aged "kids" hiking/ BP in RMNP/IPW.
Allen was my favorite camper and reminded me of my younger brother, so I instantly took him under my wing and enjoyed several summers together doing a lot of climbing. Some authorized, but most not.
4-5 yrs ago we reconnected through FB, and he profusely thanked me for the time I spent with him. We always talked about trying to get together to do "One More" climb.
Allen was diagnosed with MS 2 yrs ago, but it's been escalating the past year. He fell 2 days ago, and just died of a brain hemorrhage.
F&%k MS !!
