Joe Brown died over the weekend.
Its a big loss, I met him once while too little to know. My dad and him had a few conversations over the years after my dad bumped into him on the Roaches and offered him a cup of tea. Ive dropped by his shop a fair few times as well.
Bit of a hero of mine growing up reading about what he did, and then being able to go and see the routes he set with equipment he made himself. If anyone knows the roaches, he put up one of the most iconic routes in climbing, The Sloth. Or at least if I remember correctly he did. Ive never had the guts to give it a go myself, never really being that good a climber.
