Oztalgian 3,217 Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 The death of Joe Brown aged 89 has been reported today. I know that many including myself and Affergoritt will be saddened by this news. To say he was a natural was an understatement, like all those who were the best at what they did he made it all look so easy. He was the first to climb many routes on Froggatt and Curbar Edge. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AfferGorritt 868 Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Very true, Oz. When I struggled and was hauled up a Brown route in Derbyshire I was always aware that I was following in the footsteps - and handholds - of a Master. RIP Baron Brown. Truly the end of an era. Will be remembered with affection and awe. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
