David Robert’s … climbing luminary passes away
I knew of his battle with cancer from reading Limits Of The Known. As this essay enumerates, he was a prolific author and climber, as well as a mentor to many, and a thoughtful and reflective person. I devoured his mountaineering classics Mountain Of My Fear, and Deborah (Legends and Lore) in the early 1970s, and they had a profound impact on my climbing career.
