Falling 2,000 feet from red banks would mean he fell all the way down avalanche gulch, past the heart and almost to Helen Lake. This fall would take several minutes. Perhaps the reporter meant two hundred feet?

I can't believe that Mexicans are now taking mountaineering jobs from Americans.

When will it stop?

Wake up white people.

You ARE kidding, right? Otherwise, I'd have to say something rude. Like: As a fully white NON-mountaineer I say let anyone climb, I don't see YOU up there. As to his helicopter ride, he'll get about a $10,000 bill for it, more or less. Quit being a racist do-nothing who just makes ignorant comments on a low circulation newpaper.

Another point: My father would spin in his grave to see his life's work reduced to the mostly regional picture of immigration in America. And the foolish bias some have while making armchair comments of just what they see and read now. Go to the library, (that's the big building with books) and read up on the Cold War in Europe. Then hug a Mexican.
