Terrible news. Remember bumping into him at Bridestones and being rather star struck. RIP

Very sad to hear this. As everyone has said yorkshiregrit.com defined a generation of bouldering which I was very lucky to be part of. I hadn't seen John out climbing for ages but from his amazing instagram photos he still looked to be getting out and about enjoying the outdoors.

Truly awful news.
YG was a brilliant resource and a true innovation in its time.
RIP

It is a really sad situation,  he was a lovely generous guy, I didn't know him very well but always enjoyed climbing and talking with him.   

I am not sure if these details have been posted but I think donations to the fell rescue are welcome:

FH - glad it went ok today, but a sad occasion for many of us.
Rest in peace Dr P, you will be sorely missed.
