If the weather up there yesterday was like bristol channel, would have been big sea.

Hopefully they were holed up somewhere.

Worth flagging up in case anyone Gogarth bound today. Keep an eye out.

That properly sucks. I was telling the wife they'd probably just got into a pickle and were stuck there until somebody chucked a rope down. Poor fellas. My condolences to all

:( You always hope (as you said Andy) that they're just marooned on some un-escapable seagull infested shelf..

Just in case anyone is wondering if it's anyone they know, their names are on Ed Douglas' twitter feed.

Aye, Jack was a good climber and an individual character; sometimes annoying but always a good friend.
I dont think anyone had the same energy that he did.
I'll certainly miss climbing with him.

RIP.
