In reply to John Kelly:
Really, really sad. What an absolute star. I didn't know the guy, but we have close mutual friends who are desolate right now. From all accounts he seems to have embodied so much of the best of climbers. Humble, slightly nerdy, funny, with feet firmly planted in reality; an absolute warrior on the rock, strong and technically brilliant, living the dirtbag dream and loving every day of it. I hope I can live half as much in my life as he did in his.
My thoughts and deepest sympathies are with his family and many friends around the world.
