Spotting the King before matts, in Heuco Tanks 1993 |
Patrick Edlinger died Friday. He was known as Le Blond, and was a very big deal in rock climbing, as a rock climber he had the full palate of skills and strengths, power and grace, when he was on form this superiority rocketed him to the top. He was also bold, in fact thats how I thought of him many times holding his ropes, the bold blond, 1992 and 1993.
