Brian Holcomb

What a beautiful tribute to an outstanding man! Wish I had known Brian as he enjoyed the mnts. & climbing as I did!! M. Brauti

Thanks, Brian, for leading me and Tom up the north face of Monkey Face!!! I'll never forget that day! John Winters.

The last climb I did with Brian was in the '90s, it was typical of his passion: The Squaw Rock on Indian Ridge in the Smith Rock area. It's the highest rock pinnacle on the skyline looking like an errant thumb as you drive on 97 past Smith. Probably hadn't been climbed in years. A grueling hike up a steep slope to the base, then an easy low 5th class lead to the top. We put in new bolts for the rap off. I miss Brian and his lust for the unusual. RIP

I have many great memories of working with Brian at Fred Meyer. Smart, funny, and ever the professional, he was always generous with his friendship, sage advice, and a story to bring a smile. He holds a special place in my heart and memories. My condolences to Sue and all of Brian´s family and friends. Rest in peace Brian.

On belay, indeed. I am grateful I could call him my friend. He will be missed.

This is a beautiful description of Brian and his vitality. Condolences to Sue and the family. Lisa and Myra Ozaeta

What an excellent picture of Brian! It captures his spirit in all he did! You wrote a sparkling, spiritual and historical (he would be proud) account of his life. Thank you for sharing this with all who knew and loved him. Brian Holcomb - Rest in Peace. Rise in Glory. Mary Anne
