RIP Vaca Russ
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2018 2:01 pm
I have some horrible news to convey to all:
Our member and friend to many here on HST, Vaca Russ, passed away suddenly from a medical event, while out on a trip to climb Mt.Tom this past weekend on the way up to Horton Lake, I will not be going into any particulars of this incident, on forum or off.
Russ was a good man, he participated in two of our recovery missions in the Mammoth region looking for evidence in the Greene case, he was willing to use his vacation time, money, and effort for someone he never even met, that tells you a lot about his character. He also had a wonderful sense of humor.

He enjoyed climbing, and was chipping away at the Ogul list, as you can read, and enjoy, in the Climbing Section.
Those of you who were fortunate enough to meet this wonder man, please add your memories and stories that you shared with him here.
Peace my mountain brother, you will be missed, our souls will meet once again in the Sierra.
