Bean Bowers

Did anyone here know Bean Bowers? I was trying to find out info about Jud Wiebe (who is memorialized in a Telluride trail), and incidentally stumbled onto a story about this man. What a sad sad story! Here's a link if interested:

Thanks for posting this....sounds like a "hell of a guy"!!
It also sounds like he lived more in his short life than most do in their long lives.

If you want more depressing news, just take a peak at the 14ers site virtually any week this summer and you can read all about another 20-something year old who died in some tragic Colorado climbing accident this summer...
