Teton Conditions & Mike Gardner

This Columbus Day weekend seems like a good time to say goodbye to the people who explore the corners of our world. Teton guide Mike Gardner suffered a fatal fall on Jannu East (7,468m). Jannu (also known as Khumbhakarna or Phoktanglungma) stands in eastern Nepal, 9.5km west of 8,586m Kangchenjunga, on the Indian border.

FWIW: Conditions on the Grand's south aspects were great this CD weekend. And the OS was fine. All hazards avoidable. Many climbers were on various peaks and routes, mostly south facing.

Absolutely gutted by this thank you for posting.
He was a bright light for all.
