Yes very sad news but he had a good long life. I’ve done a few of his routes ( Cenotaph Corner, Cemetery Gates, Right Unconquerable etc but wasn’t Sloth a Whillans route ?) I’ll check.
A friend spent ages fighting his way up Cenotaph Corner and proud as punch in the pub that night went up to the Great Man and said ‘ I did your route today’. Joe replied -‘ was that you - I thought you were having a picnic you were on it so long’ !
