Tom was my climbing partner, housemate and dear friend. He lived and breathed for climbing and was liked by all those who knew him. I'll miss you, as will all the crew at No.11 I'll remember all the great days we had for as long as I live. I love you man. Dan. Anyone that wishes to pay tribute to Tom can find flowers, messages and things dear to him (like the N.Wales bouldering guide!) below the Cromlech, also i'll try to get a decent picture of him online.
