Thanks for pointing that obit out. the Times has not done one that I've seen. A very sad story but so many of these highly driven great climbers live a lot closer to the edge than most of us would be willing to go.
Long may that continue.
Sad to read, but he always lived very close to the edge and loved it that way. After watching Cold Haul the upmost repsect must go to guy that achieved so much in sometimes the hardest way possible.
Read the article as well but was struck by the difference in what was said/written when Alison Hargreaves died. Should a mother with two young children be risking her life etc, it's a strange world we live in.

Perhaps the reason for the different approach is that the Lafaille Obit was written by Colin Wells.
