Luca Chiarabini was a good friend to so many people. Charismatic, nature enthusiast, always ready to help. His business card stated: ‘Active, Adventurous, Italian’ … and he was indeed!

Luca was born in 1970 together with his twin brother near the Como Lake (Italy) and enjoyed is youth in Barcelona (Spain) where he graduated as IT Engineer. While working for Hewlett-Packard he moved with his wife and daughter to San Diego where he discovered his greatest passions: Caving & Canyoneering.
Luca made countless expeditions all over the world, becoming the biggest contributor to Ropewiki and member of the San Bernardino Cave Rescue Team.
Luca drowned in August 2017 while crossing the South Fork of Kings River in California.
At the location of the accident a planted sequoia in his honor and a memorial plaque will remember Luca to all of us.
