I met Bruce at Tasman Saddle Hut and was able to complement him on his awesome ski decent of Cook. He invited me to see his photos of him and Leo Geary fly from Mt. Tasman: sadly, I never followed up.
Bruce died on Aug 13th 1995 after summiting K2.
Don't be shy with comments: this guy inspired us all.

  • Aoraki / Mount Cook hiking is a piece of Cake.

  • @nzcampbell Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. Am definitely very interested in doing this trek sometime over the next few years. What did you think about the safety in Northern Pakistan? I suppose its not that high of a threat but I've read that they require you to have an army escort at all times?

  • @Triple777ER Hey buddy I did it with Snowland Tours. I'm not big on organised tours but it would be really far by yourself. You could also go to Skardu and organise yourself a couple of porters from there and saving a bit of money. Kamal from Snowland is a really helpful guy though.

  • @nzcampbell Hi campbell, did you trek to K2 basecamp by yourself or was it a guided trek? I'm very keen on doing this.

  • I visited Bruce's plaque at the K2 memorial near K2 basecamp a few weeks ago - within a day or two of the anniversary of his death. I said a quiet word for Bruce and his family and shared a very special moment sitting amongst the momentos and prayer flags left for climbers who never made it back down.

  • he was such an amazing, brave and attractive man!

  • A most beautiful soul n a true gentleman, you soul will live for ever xxxxxx cheers honey

  • I remember Bruce as a person of few words – a very ‘cool dude’. I climbed the East Ridge of Mt Cook with him. He carried a parapente up and simply flew from the top. He was waiting for us at the bottom of the mountain with a few cold beers chilling in the stream. Great guy!

  • 7XKs and Flexon Comps. Righteous.

  • RIP Bruce
