John Syrett really was an inspiration to me when I started climbing in 1974. His best years were already behind him but his reputation was enormous. In 1985 he was found dead at the bottom of Malham Cove in Yorkshire. Photo Gordon Stainforth© Climbing Wall, Vintage Photos, Adrenaline Junkie, Ski Fashion, Vintage Rock, Outdoorsman

This is how I knew Jim. I climbed with him for a full week in Yosemite in 1979, just after he did his ascent of Cerro Torre in Argentina.
