I only knew Marty for a short but intense time as we trekked to Everest Base Camp last year. Along with Steve I felt that I had found a life long friend as evidenced by some planning for future possible treks and my planned visit in Christchurch later this year.
Condolences to you all.
Pheri bhetaunla Marty.
