Write Up:
A beautiful change in plans. Several GMS members, as well as close friends and family members decided to make a trip back up Chaffin Creek to Sugarloaf Peak for some needed closure from Bryan Kercher's passing. It was quite emotional as we approached the "rock" where we comforted Bryan as his life passed. We were able to find a few treasured items of Bryan's from the climb. His hat and cell phone brought many of us to tears. Stories were told and we laughed with funny memories. I won't mention the names of our group in respect for their privacy. A small carin was built as the afternoon drifted away. Our return to the trailhead was bitter sweet. We had said goodbye to a dear friend.
