The next thing I knew, the was a segment of Tim rescuing some guy from the Bow river near the falls in Banff.

I flipped on the tv and there was a National Geographic show on in Spanish. We’d been out stomping around in the heat all day and retreated back to the hotel to cool off in the A/C for a while before going out for dinner. In 2006, my wife Eileen and I were in Madrid, Spain. We skied out and headed to the tavern at the Cascade Hotel in Banff and I got to spend a great afternoon drinking beer and BSing with four of my climbing hero’s. On my way in there was a pretty significant avalanche on the face and when I got to the base, they were coming down. I was unemployed and heard they were up there so I skied in to see what was going on. Temple making an attempt on the first winter ascent. I was getting a little worried about the whole deal when Tim showed up in his seasonal warden get up and said “Hey fellas, what’s going on here?” Thanks Tim, I’ll never forget that.Īnother occasion was when Tim, Don Vockeroth, Lloyd MacKay and Dougal Haston were up on the north face of Mt. They decided that they were going to give me a haircut and had me pinned against a tree near the bus drop off. Long haired and clueless, I was accosted by three wranglers (there was a horse camp in the vicinity then) who took great offence at my appearance. I had just shown up at Lake O’Hara to attend High Horizons climbing camp in 1970 at the tender age of 14. I was one of his early rescues, but it wasn’t on the heights. If there’s an afterlife, I hope that Tim spends time in his own “Enchanted Forest”. I know he was just being funny in a gentle, child-like way, but he seemed to especially enjoy those quiet aspen groves on the way back to the car park from the west end of Yam. Tim: “Can we go down through the Enchanted Forest?” Whenever we arrived on the summit of Yamnuska, the conversation invariably went like this: Tim and I climbed together over the years, including some new routes on Yamnuska, and the Greenwood-Locke on the north face of Mt. I have included names of the authors here: They are all wonderful and most people will want to read them all.
