April, 2000. Fred Beckey coiling a Rope in Zion. 

Cool moment, just chillin with Fred Beckey, coiling a rope, talking about.. whatever. Enjoyed this thanks.

I met Fred in Seattle at a lecture... he told me to ride a bike instead of climbing because it didn't require rope.

My high school buddy and i met Fred at a lecture back in ~1986 in NY/NJ. He gave a nice presentation (slides) showing mostly nature from all his travels in the cascades. He gave me an 8x10 autograph picture, which I still treasure to this day.

Whoever thinks this was thumbs down worthy is a sad person haha this video deserves 100000 likes easy

The routes, ranges and fellow climbers this man carried in his head…😮

Tru Ol' Skool Mountaineers Coil ...... RIP MR. Beckey

Still more 1st Ascent than any man alive

Lap coiling is so much easiest. But the way you knowis best
