Michael Reardon Swept Out To Sea - Lost

Fri, 13 Jul 2007 07:00:43 -0700

One of Stoney Point's major givers was lost when swept out to sea while visiting Ireland - go here for more information. I write this in disbelief, I would count Michael as a friend, he gave freely when asked for beta and photos, and tours of Stoney Point, and he was a bunch of fun to hang out with. We had planned to write a guidebook to Needles together, his experience and my writing/publishing "knowledge".
It is my personal philoshopy that when you do something you love for years and years (like climbing) you come to the stage where you have to stop taking, and start giving back, it's not an ego thing, it's just something that you have to do to be able to call yourself a devotee of that thing that you love doing.
Michael Reardon personified this.
