Sadly Richard died on Monday 29th June after a stroke. I am sure Dave Viggers remembers well the incredible trip to Scotland with Richard and Mike Banks in 1975 plus the Alpine trip that included the Hirondelles Ridge on the Grande Jorasses.
Richard was a member of the CC for over 66 years. We pass on our condolences to his family and friends.
I climbed with him for many more years in the Alps, Scotland, the Lakes and Wales. He was without doubt the fittest person I have ever known, still going well when we did the Peuterey Ridge and Mt Blanc when he was 55.
