Sad story.

Joseph Puryear - a photographer and climber and Washington native - recently died while climbing in a remote part of the Himalayan Range in Tibet.

When asked earlier where his climbing heart lay, Puryear's reply echoed in every ounce my own sentiment ~



"It’s hard not to say my own home mountains the Cascades, but really my heart lies in all alpine travel and exploration off the beaten path and away from civilization."
