"Portland was one of Barry Humphreys' favourite climbing spots and has always
been considered a fun place in the sun until last Saturday when his life was
lost in an accident."
In reply to UKC News: I met Barry this summer and was lucky enough to spend some time climbing with him. Such a top bloke and great climber, very sad news.
In reply to UKC News: I never me the guy, but ti's always sad to hear of people losing their life in such a way. My thoughts go out to his family and loved ones.
In reply to UKC News: We are very sorry to hear about Barry. He was a great person and a fantastic climber. He has touched many people and will be sadly missed. Our thoughts go out to his family, friends and his girlfriend.
We will miss you mate!
My deepest sympathies and thought's go out to his family and friends. This is all I've really thought about all day today and even though I've never met Barry I can't help but feel touched by this tragedy.
Kind thoughts and regards

thank you for all your kind words barry was a great person and a great cousin again thank you to ukc for all kind regards
Just awful news. Like Tim and Chris above I climbed with Barry in Kalymnos for a week in 2004, he seemed a very chilled and mellow soul - young and very much at peace with himself. Just someone you don't forget.
Climbing can give so much and can take so much away.
Wishing strength to all those needing it at this time.
