In reply to UKC News: Sad news. Very sad. The perspective from Mrs LD is that the via ferrata that the group was on is mostly not more than 7m above the forest floor, the final section being a little harder and higher. A tragic end to a climbing legends.
"he was one of the good guys, you could see him in the pub having a beer and cheesecake after a days climbing" (Mrs LD)
What a great way to be remembered.
