One year ago on July 7, 2007, a very good friend and climbing partner of mine was climbing with Sertac on Mount Slesse, in Chilliwack, BC. Sertac was unfortunately hit with falling ice and died on this day. His body wasn’t recovered until Sept.
I have so much to say about this and its effects on my friend, myself and the whole climbing community in Vancouver and yet so little to say about it. I am changed forever because of it and this event was the first catalyst for taking this adventure. Life is too short.
I would like to take a moment today and remember Sertac, his energy and his love for life. I would also like to send my thoughts and love out to my friend that was there with him during his last moments. You are well loved by many.

Hello I live on Vancouver Island. Could I talk to you? I can so relate to your words. I have some nice stories of Sertac

I also was friends with Sertac and have never been able to get over what happened. I have often wondered about the friend he was climbing with that day and hope he has found peace. I have always wondered if this was the first time Sertac had climbed on Mt. Slesse. It breaks my heart to this day that he is gone.
