In reply to Lankyman:
My understanding is that someone spent many years chronicling the 'different Petes', i.e. climber, caver, paddler, runner, orienteer... and got lost in it all. Then got pipped by the Radke book, which, as I understand (haven't read it), is a collection of essays about Pete the climber.
Good effort if so. Pete changed climbing forever. But Pete the climber was only one of his many personae. And underneath the many personae lay Pete the person. For whom we're still searching.
