Fascinating story in Backpacker about the infamous Ray Jardine. They also quote my fellow thru-hiker "AllGood," which makes me smile.

He Revolutionized Two Outdoor Sports. Then He Disappeared.
Ray Jardine changed rock climbing forever when he invented Friends, and backpacking when he and his wife, Jenny, developed modern ultralight gear. Where is he today?
