It appears Michael Reardon has slipped off the top of a cliff in Ireland and as yet has not been found despite a considerable search last evening.

Well, it doesn't look like he's coming back.

RIP - what a horrible way to go

A parachute not opening, thats the way to go. Slipping off the top of a crag certianly aint. This is exactly why places like lundy used to shit me up.

shame.

[webbo]

apparently he didn't slip off the top of the crag.got washed away by a wave

Sorry to be pedantic, I think he was washed off a tidal ledge by a large wave.  Either way, not a nice thing to happen.

He was a good duy, the real thing. I spent two evenings climbing with him 2 weeks ago and he was great company and full of life. He will be sadly missed.

Exactly.

There is something sadly ironic about a guy who made his name from free soloing huge faces getting drowned at sea level.
