In reply to UKC News:
Great that he's been honoured in two such important domains in his life. I'm sure his Nobel prize was richly deserved and the Arco Rock Legends one certainly is. I'm always a little dubious about awards but when one goes like an arrow flight to someone utterly deserving, there's a warm glow inside. You think, 'They got it right!'
Am looking forward to the interview. Have always regarded him as a legendary figure. Would be interested in knowing a little about his climbing partnership with the late Dick Isherwood. They seemed like a pair who could get up well-nigh anything at the time.
