I think this guy was a pretty big deal. Sad to see him gone so young.
ETA: Basically, every professionally-produced video I have seen about elite mountaineering, until the recent ascension of Jimmy Chin, had David Breashears’ name on it. He brought the visuals to the rest of us, and I’d be lacking in a large amount of awareness if I didn’t say he was a huge inspiration to me as I made my way into the mountaineering world, as novice as that journey was.
