In reply to AndyP:
I never met him. (Well, never knowingly met him, as the late 60s/70s now seems like a blur of wild parties and 'interesting' experiences.) Scouser, or near-scouser, I believe. A big mate of Al Rouse's. Belayer on the legendary Positron, led by Al(RIP). Member of 'the Vags', i.e. the Vagabond climbing club, with a hut somewhere near the Pass. (Once made it to the hut but passed out!) I think the Vags are more respectable now. Dr Fran, of this parish, seems to be their corporate face. But, back then, my Irish mates reckoned they were wild. Happy days.
I think the Minx did a load in the States. Judging from Supertopo, they seemed to like him.
One of those wild characters you'll always wish you'd met.
