Pete Takeda: Journalist & Mountaineer

Jonny Copp 1974-2009

Jonny Copp was one of my closest friends. He, Micah Dash and Wade Johnson were killed in mid-May. They were on an expedition to attempt the East Face of Mount Edgar.

Eric DeCaria, Nick Martino, Steve Su, and I—along with several Chinese climbers recovered the bodies of Jonny and Wade. We were supported in China by Nick Rosen and Mick Follari and in the States by Mark Reiner, Ben Alexandra, Sara Close, Jose Yavari and the entire climbing community. Traces of Micah’s equipment were located in the avalanche debris. More details to come.
