Title: Wolfgang!
Post by: andy popp on August 15, 2012, 05:19:38 pm
Leafing through an old mag I came across an obituary for Wolfgang. On the 29th of this month it will be twenty years since his death. Barely believable that its so long. One can't help wondering what he would have gone on to achieve if ...

Although slightly morbid (visiting a grave), I found the visitor books full of images of his climbing career really interesting/inspiring.

Whilst in Germany I sought out a lot his routes in the 'jura and Pfalz (at an appropriate level) and there were some real gems.

Thanks Paul, great images - and not morbid at all.

I misread the obit, 29th was the date of the accident.
