Hi All,

This is part two in a trilogy that I am creating is Scott's memory. In 1994, Scott, Robert, Tracey and I, along with a Discover Channel Camera Crew went to the Dolomites. We climbed a bunch of great stuff and shot stacks of great footage, but unfortunately the deal went south and we lost access to 90% of the film. Luckily we do have one tape that has some great footage of Scott.

No doubt taking falls on a route on a tower that no longer exists. The tower, that is.

Torre Trephor in the Cinque Torri fell down as a result of ice expansion in hairline horizontal cracks around 7-8 years ago.

That is some scary stuff you put up. It reminds me a lot of the Quartz hairballs.

Thanks Gnome, John. It really means a lot to me. We had such great times back in Austin with some of the greatest folks who ever learned to love climbing.

I am on a bit of a video jag, inspired to remember and share about Scott. This is not part 3, but something that just fell out of last nights... really early this morning's editing.

To all of you who are guides, took classes, or climbed at ERock, you might enjoy this little piece.
