Climbing the Breach was one of THE most awesome things I have ever done in my life. Add to that the opportunity to camp on the crater and those two days became the defining moments of out trip. I felt more connected to life after the Breach climb than on summit day. The people that made the decision to close the route are the same folks that put "do not drink" warning labels on cans of gasolene. I hope the family members of the three climbers that died in the January 06 rock fall find peace in the decision because they deserve it. The rest of the people in the world who will never get the chance to climb it can only wonder. What a bummer.
