Bouldering fanatic
Ben was religious about his exercise. When he wasn't on the rocks he was in the gym. He never missed 2 days in a row for many years. He seemed to get by with 5 hours sleep most of the time so his gym time was often from 10 to midnight or whenever he could fit it in.
A day on the towers near Moab
Epoxy metering device - Engineering/machining project
Ben learned Solid Works on his own where most students take 2 semesters. He made engineering drawings of all the components of his own design and then being a competent machinist he fabricated all the parts on lathe and mill and assembled them.
Ben went on to get a degree in Physics from University of Colorado and then another in Biochemical engineering.
In his prime - died from a fall from Longs peak Aug 27 ,2010 at age 26.
He was a superman both intellectually and physically.
