GREAT LOSS OF A GIANT OF SLOVENIAN ALPINISM

With today's news about the great loss of our Tomaž, a giant on a world scale, a man who was connected to the mountain, nature has again shown and proven that despite all achievements and knowledge we are still very small and powerless compared to natural laws. Personally, I feel extremely affected and sad about this news, so I decided to open this topic because Tomaž surely deserves it.

Did he have to rush into that?
Already years ago nature warned him not to play anymore.

...neither lazy nor powerless person
ever realizes unity with himself
never frees himself from evil.
Tomaž carried his last burden...

For us ordinary "plodders" Tomaž was a legend much earlier. Many times I thought of him when I was dragging myself fearfully over some rock. He was special, but all those who achieved something great in their life are special. He spent the last hours of his life on his beloved mountain, as he wished, but much too early. Rest in peace dear Tomaž.

Once somewhere he wrote: Every mountain has its soul. If the mountain doesn't accept you, but you persist anyway, it will destroy you. Sadly Langtang Linguru didn't accept him - or did it - into its depths. Rest in peace!

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." (Theodore Roosevelt)
Tomaž, rest in peace.

A man with a strong will, a great lover of mountains, whom the mountains completely captivated and sadly also took... may he rest in peace, condolences to the family.

We lost a great one, probably the greatest alpinist of our days, and a great brave man.
It consoles us that you died in your beloved element - in the mountains.
Tomaž, Rest in peace!
