Colin Reece killed while climbing at Robin FallsNT 13-Sep-2010 At 2:01:45 PM gtempest

When I started climbing in the mid 1970s, Colin Reece was in his early 20s and was already a legend of Moonarie. When I met him, I think it was in early 1977 at Arapiles, I was immediately struck by his incredible enthusiasm. When it came to the Flinders Ranges and the Gammons there was nobody who knew them as intimately as he did. I last saw him about five or six years ago when I ran into him at Moonarie. When I mentioned that we were headed to the Gammons to do some exploring in some of the more remote gorges, he immediately sat me down and filled my head with details of his own considerable exploits. He then handed me his well-worn copy of a walking guide to the Gammons, in which he had scribbled various notes, details and amendments. I said that I would send it back to him when I got back to Melbourne but he insisted I keep it. Colin was one of the legends of Australian climbing. He was one of those very few climbers who were made of the Right Stuff. I'll miss him.
