2015 annual benefit dinner,AAC,NY Chapter

 

Jeff Lowe as awardee of lifetime achievement as a notable climber.

I would like to express my sincere homage for his lifelong dedication to climbs and skill development. The first boo from him I read through was the " Ice Experience ". 



Even though he could not talk, he thinks right.  I met him at North

Conway,NH in 1996.  I handed in my Everest book to him, he handed in his ice climbing technique

book to me. I handed in that book to Jongmin Won of Kolon Climbing School. 

 

 



 Section heads of aac, metropolitan area.

 

1990,when I was preparing a book of world famous climber, he sent me a encouraging letter to me.
Some years later, I wish I could visit to Manchester area to see Sir Joe Brown and Sir Doug Scott.

With Sir Chris Bonington and Reinhold Messner. I read through their books thoroughly when I was ambitious enough. Sieben Grat, I chose to climb. After reading his book, I started to training running
the hills.  He was quite influential climber to me to follow.
