Who are all these people on the walls around this place? Letโs start by introducing you to who many consider to be the greatest mountain climber to ever live #AlexLowe a.k.a. #LungsWithLegs This is a story about Alex and why heโs in our wall: โI In one famous incident a free-standing icicle he was climbing broke free, carrying him 30m down before he hit a ledge, smashing his forehead into his ice axe. Lowe, however, promptly stood up and proclaimed himself okay. But his friends could see he wasnโt: A large section of his scalp was draped over one eye, exposing his skull. Undeterred, Lowe later recalled what followed: โWeโฆkinda taped the scalp back into place, and put a hat on, and taped around the hat, and started skiing out. [We] kinda knew it was time to go to the ER. But we also knew it was going to be a long evening there, so we stopped down at the coffee shop and got lattes. It was great. My clothes were saturated with blood. We parked in the handicap spot in front of the coffee shop, marched right in, and then headed for the hospital.โ Weโd hope to be the ones serving coffee to the next great climber on the way to the E.R. or even better just on the way to work.
