Alex Lowe
Stuart Alexander "Alex" Lowe (December 24, 1958, Frederick, Maryland – October 5, 1999, Shishapangma, Tibet), was an American mountaineer. He climbed several peaks in North America and Asia and was well regarded by his peers. He died in an avalanche in Tibet.
==Biography==
In 1995 Lowe climbed an icicle in Hyalite Canyon, near Bozeman, Montana. While climbing in the lead, Lowe's section of ice snapped free. He fell and sustained a severe cut to the head from his ice ax, which exposed part of his skull. Lowe later recalled what followed: "We ... kinda taped the scalp back into place, and put a hat on, and taped around the hat, and started skiing out. () kinda knew it was time to go to the ER. But we also knew it was going to be a long evening there, so we stopped down at the coffee shop and got lattes. It was great. My clothes were saturated with blood. We parked in the handicap spot in front of the coffee shop, marched right in, and then headed for the hospital."
On a climb up El Capitan in Yosemite, one of Lowe's climbing shoes was holed in the toe box. Instead of quitting, he completed the climb, friends later recalled, by wearing his shoe backward.
