Nick Bond - former BMC NW Chair and Lancs quarries enthusiast has died of cancer. Climbed with him a fair bit and had interestingtrip with him to Montserrat. Earnest guy. Probably early 50's.  :wavecry:

I worked with him lots as he was Chair of BMC Walls Committee when I was at the BMC. One of the good guys  :(

Gutted.
Musically, these past couple of weeks suck.
I stop for a quiet pint in the Barn Owl and this gets dropped on me.

Chester Bennington.

This takes a moment to start, don't think it's not working:

First Chris Cornell, now Chester Bennington. Two of my favourite singers gone the same way. This shows them at their finest;

  Yes, very sad, but in the best way. Don't forget to throw in a "Brucie" today everyone, in appreciation for the great man. Nice to see you..  :wave:

Husker Du were simply more important to me than any other band for a long time. I think it was the honesty of both Grant Hart and Bob Mould as songwriters that mattered most.

There's a good piece in the Guardian already: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/sep/14/husker-du-grant-hart-death-aged-56

In the early summer of 1984 I joined three yankees in a VW bus on a trip to The Needles. Two of them are well known but sadly the name of the third has long gone. Which is a great shame as he introduced me to Hüsker Dü with the just-released Zen Arcade. It became the soundtrack of a great trip and a memorable (good and bad) following couple of years.

A couple of Grant's:

Harry Dean Stanton,  wonderful, laconic supporting actor from Repo Man and almost everything by David Lynch amongst others,  and his one great lead role in Paris,  Texas. Can't believe he was 91, a good inning.

Actually, not yet dead apparently ... However, very sadly, the 59 people murdered in Las Vegas last night are.

Apologies for last night's post - at the time, all the reports here were suggesting that initial reports of his death were wrong. Sadly that has proved not to be the case.

Franč Knez, guru to the great 80s and 90s Slovenian alpinists and all-round badass.

“The first Slovene to train and climb really hard moves” according to Silvo Karo, as a result he was climbing 7c on trad. gear in the early 80s and held the speed record for soloing the N.Face of the Eiger (6 hours) in 1982. He leaves an incredible 700 new routes, in the Julian Alps, Cima Grande, Eiger, Matterhorn, Grande Jorasses, El Capitan, and Trango Tower. Perhaps most impressive of all, the three unrepeated Patagonia routes: Devils Dihedral, Psycho Vertical, and Cerro Torre East Face Directissima to Hell.

Social media is reporting the death (I believe in an avalanche, while skiing) of well-respected young US climber Hayden Kennedy. If there are any on here who knew him, I'm sorry for the loss of a friend - and sorry you've perhaps heard the news this way.
