Jonathan "Jonny" Copp was a beloved Patagonia ambassador and founder of the Boulder Adventure Film Festival. In June of 2009, he was tragically killed by an avalanche while attempting a new route on Mount Edgar (22,368 ft.), Minya Konka massif, Western Sichuan Province, China. Jonny climbed serious, first ascents in Argentina, Pakistan, Chile, Alaska, India, the Yukon and other steep places, including the first alpine-style ascent of Grade VII (longest vertical climbs in the world). He dedicated his life to his friends and family, his pursuits in the mountains and sharing his contagious passion for adventure and the outdoors with as many people as he could inspire.
