"Every mountain has its soul. If the mountain doesn't accept you and you don't submit to her will, she will ruin you." That is the opinion of the real top-noch alpinist Tomaž Humar. (from humar.com)

Bummer. I always thought his solo ascent of the South face of Dhaulagirl was a high point in Himalayan mountaineering over the last decade or so. RIP.

Damn it... I was hoping this wouldn't be the case when I heard he was injured and awaiting rescue.

Wow... what a horrible year in climbing.

Condolences to his wife and 2 children.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.

Memorial
