RIP Fred Beckey
Fred passed away Monday October 30th, such and inspiration in the climbing world.
I have all three of his Alpine climbing guides even though I'm not a true climber (I don't climb anything requiring a harness and rope... hands and feet or forget it!).
One of a kind and as tough as they come!
Rest well Fred, you were a true adventurer!!
