Below is our annual tribute to Climbers We Lost, here honoring those who left us in 2018. The climbers range in age from 20 to 96. Some people broke our hearts by leaving much too soon. Some lived long and at least died naturally. Climbers We Lost has in the six years since inception become an affirmation of how meaningful our endeavor is and how important our identities as climbers are to us. This year one young contributor, Danika Hill, in contacting us about her friend Haley Royko, 25, wrote, "Climbing was her life's joy, and she told me in 2015 that when she passed, she wanted to be included in your annual tribute. It is actually the only dying wish she made of me, and I want to make sure it happens." Each year we are concerned to think that we will inadvertently leave out some people. We encourage you to use the comments field to add photos and remembrances of others.

Fox's friends and the dZi Foundation are seeking to raise $53,000 to finance the project.

Filmfest shows everything from Dawn Wall to Mr. Rogers, the Okavanga Delta to the charismatic Maureen Beck.

"Just a jack of all trades, master of none, eternal fun hog, and not afraid of a bottle of white wine!"

She climbed five 8000-meter peaks, Dhaulagiri and Everest among them.
