It is with great sadness that I have learned of the death of my friend John Brailsford. I met John for the first time in L'Argentière-La Bessée (France), in October 1997, after a long correspondence. Before pushing the door of his house, Le Chalet du Guide, I was very anxious to meet such a legendary climber and Mountain Guide, but also the originator of the first purpose designed nut, the Acorn and, later, the MOAC. John welcomed me with so much kindness and really enjoyed my passion for the history of early climbing equipment. I met John again, several times, in Corsica and in England. Each time it was still a magic moment just listening to him telling me so many fascinating stories. John Brailsford still remains for me a true mine of knowledge on the Nuts’ Story. I will never forget the “Old Testament”, the nickname with which he signed the letters he sent to me. With all my warmest thoughts to John's wife, family and friends.
