Mitch Miller > &#8220;Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.&#8221; - John Muir
Mitch Miller > Was it Patty's ice axe that was found? Patty's long-time climbing friend Ron Hudson stated "She used a Ushba (grey titanium), about 70 cm. She used it with me in Nevada 10 days before her death." Tina Bowman, Patty's last climbing partner said "It certainly looks like Patty's axe and leash." Larry and Barbee Tidall said "It looks like the model we remember she had." (see image #1) Patty's ice axe, this symbol of adventure, fun and good times, is now home with her family. Rest in peace, Patty. We all miss you, and will climb on.
Mitch Miller > This is Patty Rambert on a hike I did with her to Nopah Peak, January 2004. She was trying to teach this slow learner the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) navigation system. In spite of the long, arduous day, the hike was a delight thanks to Patty. From my perspective she always maintained a cheerful attitude and a professional wilderness guide aptitude. My weekend outting September 30-October 1, 2006, was in part a tribute to her. The Lamarck Lakes trail was her last. She perished on the east face of Mt. Mendel, May 31, 2006. Her ice axe was not found. If you are unfamiliar with the story you can read it at http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/news/atoz/article_1170528.php.
Mitch Miller > Saturday sunset: the long view towards the peaks above the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest beyond the Owens Valley.
Mitch Miller > 13,831' Mt. Darwin and 13,710' Mt. Mendel, from the Lamarck plateau. It was on the east face of Mendel, out of sight to the right of the glacier with the hole in it, that Patty perished, May 31. Summit is at 37° 10' 30" N, 118° 40' 53" W.
Mitch Miller > Looking southwest up Rock Creek canyon from Beartooth Highway.
Mitch Miller > I believe this was where every rancher within a 20 mile radius buried their dead. "Big Sky State" felt like the perfect nickname for Montana here. The closer headstone reads "Claude M. Sanford. Horseshoer US Army. World War I. 1891 - 1998".
Mitch Miller > Friday sunrise at an arch in the Alabama Hills; Florida resident and California native Rob Richards looks to the goal. Rob had just spent a week at higher (than Florida) altitude in Sequoia National Park to prepare for the quest.
