I haven't got his email, i contacted him via facebook. I think if he'd witnessed anything else significant Simpson would have mentioned it. He might know who was there for some other stuff. I think he was more of an early climbing partner. Sounds like they met up a few times when simpson was going well. To be honest Shark i don't think you'll get much more out of him. Barring Simpsons intervention i think this issue has ran its course. I'm through with trying to investigate any more, i'll give you a million pounds if you lock this thread!

With Doylo's help I emailed Dan through Facebook last wednesday and got a reply this morning.

Dan again confirmed he belayed Simpson on LA and Hubble. Both were early morning ascents to get good conditions and there wasn't anyone else present. He moved to Thailand shortly after the Hubble ascent. He wasn't present for any of the other key ascents or able to provide any other leads on other belayers/witnesses and was sorry he couldn't be any more help.

PM me if anyone wants a copy of the email exchange.

Too late. Sloper's gone.
