07 maggio 又出事了一个月后，就在lulu再次带队hike Mt baker的那个星期六，一个extremed accomplished mountain climber solo missing at the same day same area.
那个星期六，大家到我家聚餐，偶第一次做东哦。晚上十点，爬太焦急地给老虎打了好几个电话，客厅里气氛一下子紧张起来，仿佛又回到小来出事的那个夜晚。晚上十一点，才接通老游的手机，原来他们高速走错了路，还没过关呢。
Kevin 一定是一个不折不扣的发烧友，不然有怎会quit secondary school teacher的工作，到REI工作呢？
但小来呢，Garabaldi 也曾爬了4次，最后。。。
看到老鱼写的游记，“如果去爬珠峰，生命也再所不惜。”
大自然是很美，可和人的生命相比呢？以前，我一定会不以为然，当然是生命宝贵。可现在，我真的也很难说，每个人的看法不同啊。我也理解，爬山真的会上瘾的，我自己就有一看到trailhead就像进去走一走的冲动。记得2006年，我和小来第一次的爬山经历之后，立刻爱上了这个自我折磨的运动。在空气无比新鲜的森林里沿着天然的trail行径，而尽头是无比美丽的风景，身体无比的舒展。马上，我从星期一开始就盼望周末去哪里hiking。可我也没坚持多久，一是夏天很快结束了，二是后来我恐怖地发现膝盖好痛，好像痛从骨头出来。从此再也不敢暗笑别人爬山用拐杖，因为这真的是必备。
但Kevin真的好牛，比小来牛多了。但在mother nature下？Kevin missing 了一个星期，仍无所踪。
A friend reported Kevin Lafleur, 31, missing after he didn’t show up at one of his jobs on Monday, according to a Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office press release. Bellingham Mountain Rescue volunteers, snowmobile volunteers and friends of Lafleur searched the lower Coleman Glacier. Members of Skagit Mountain Rescue searched the east side of the mountain in case Lafleur hiked or skied into the Baker Lake area.Lafleur's vehicle was found at the snowline on Glacier Creek Road, indicating that he intended to climb Baker by the standard route.
“He’s very experienced. He’s climbed Mount Baker many times. He’s climbed Mount Rainier. He’s climbed a huge number of the peaks in the area,” said Harlan Kredit, a Lynden Christian High School science teacher and friend. LaFleur had taught science at Lynden Christian High School for four to five years before leaving to earn a master’s degree, according to Don Kok, superintendent of Lynden Christian Schools. “We’re very concerned for his well-being. Kevin is a wonderful young man,” Kok said. “If anybody could survive in those conditions, Kevin could. He is extremely well-trained, but that’s a big mountain.” LaFleur works at REI in Bellingham. Ray Elliott, store manager, confirmed that LaFleur is an experienced mountaineer.
“We’ll just have to wait, along with everyone else, to see how the search efforts continue,” Elliott said. “We’re concerned about his safety and welfare.” |
