My heart hurts right now. The climbing community lost another standout this week. As I knew him, @kyle.patrick.odonoghue was a really special person that helped to transform a hodgepodge group of dirtbag climbers in Mexico into a dirtbag family. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t see him smiling, wholly present in whatever he was doing.
I love climbing for so many reasons. It can be so raw, real and transformative. But mistakes count in climbing. Consequences are swift and often devastating. Kyle, thanks for being such a light and joy to be around. You’ll be sorely missed by your Potrero dirtbag family.
