Alex Lowe Remembered

Photos of Alex from 1994-1999

I think this was on Tribal Rite or Sunkist on El Cap in Yosemite Valley. Although I was capable of leading some of the easier pitches on these big routes, Alex could do them three times as fast, haul, eat and fix the next four pieces in the same time. I quickly learned to swallow my leading pride and just try to keep The Fiend fed with plenty of lead rope and smooth belays.
