Hey OTD
Very sad about Ross. I didn't really know him but climb with some old mates of his. He was still very active. Warwick Williams is writing up a spiel about his climbing in the mts for Thrutch. Seems he soloed Colossus (I'm assuming on aid). I was always impressed with Aunty Jack and his first FA of The Minotaur with Warwick, but Warwick tells me that Ross did lots of other, scarier and more impressive stuff, particularly at Dargan's Ck. Worth remembering a lot of this was done pre- modern gear, including harnesses!
Quite the achiever and quite the climber.
