randomly came across an old video from 2011 with the man nearly defeating tom_sjolseth. i think cartman would had been able to take him were it not for the laughing in the backdrop. you can see cartman did not lose his wrist at all during this match.

That's a fun video. I met Eric one time. He was a character who fit right in with the speaker at that night's event - Reinhold Messner. The audience wanted to ask Messner about his brother's death after all these years, but Messner only wanted to talk about his search for Yeti mythology and wax nostalgic about South Tyrole. Eric was involved in some of the most interesting professional projects to take place in the last 30 years. Later we had a couple phone calls regarding linking up for the Nohokomeen Glacier, but I could tell I got a black checkmark in his scheduling mind palace on account of having kids. My dad introduced Eric to me by name that night but didn't give my name. Eric didn't ask my name. He asked, "do you have a car?" and "what grade can you lead?"

I first met Eric back in the early 80's through friends Bryan and Michelle while they were at the U of W. Used to hang out, play pinochle. Got married and raised kids and we all went different directions. I have followed a lot of people on NWHikers like Cartman, Megallan, Slugman, ect, but did not realize that Cartman was Eric. He was always friendly, had a smile and would help anyone who needed it. He will be missed by all who he touched in his life. Rest in Peace My Friend.
