James "Jim" Sharp

Jim was about the nicest person I knew in Boulder. When I was laid up in Boulder Community Hospital after a cycling accident, Jim came by out of the blue to cheer me up. He was the best example of a good person I knew.

Sorry to be so slow... Jim's death was completely unknown to me until recently, and I couldn't seem to find reliable information. I have known Jim for many years as a friend and climbing companion. Also less so, his brother, Joe, both of whom I met years ago in Colorado Springs. It's hard to imagine more of a gentleman than Jim Sharp. He was always so incredibly modest and soft spoken and never seemed 'spooked' by climbing difficulty. He was a great inspiration to me in every way. On...

I can see why you suited each other so well Charlotte. Our thoughts are with you. Maggie

What an honor to have shared a part of an amazing person. We will think of him often! Thank you for allowing us to care of Jim! Sincerely The Staff Of Vista Mesa Assisted Living Cortez, CO

To the winds of the world and the wings of your dreams...
Your spirit will always grace the peaks of Denali.
With much love and appreciation for all you have taught me.
In Peace, Kitty Banner

Ski Missouri... I think that was Jim's poster of trying go downhill w/ a mule looking on... a man who could laugh about the essentials...

I remember Jim with fondness and appreciation for all that he meant to his loved ones. Thinking of you Char, and praying for your peace.

I hope it's CAVU wherever you are amigo.

Condolences to Jim's family. It was a hoot flying with him.
Jim flew me into Backside Glacier in 1977, I believe, and we climbed Huntington. He hadn't been there before so we went in in the Super Cub for the first landing.
On the flight in I pointed to the Tokositna Glacier and told him that was where we would be hinking out.
What?
I forgot to tell him we were only booking him one way.
He flew the rest of the team in over the Tokositna b/c he couldn't believe we wanted to hike...
