...no not what you were expecting

RIP Ken Wilson (Old Sil)

Your books inspired me and still have pride of place in my study.

(Never good or brave enough for Extreme Rock!)

RIP indeed.

Inspirational writing. If I was accessible to the crags now, I'd go out and repeat an old classic.

I hadn't heard... very sad.

I have both books - original versions too - sat in my book case. As said - inspiring, humorous and original. I'd also add 'Games Climbers Play' - still dip into it today.

Great books. My copy of 'Extreme Rock' is probably the most-thumbed book I've got in the house. Only ticked a few of them though.

It was what I expected, I heard the other day. Brilliant books, but I'm not letting on how many (well OK, few) I ticked. There are some wonderful photos of climbing "old style" - EBs and Arran jumpers.

'Games Climbers Play' - Brilliant articles. I've always loved the Mike Thompson ones.
