Sorry to hear. I've got his book Himalayan Climber (1992) which has fabulous photos in it.

Oddly Hamish McGinnis dies the same week as Scott. Both on the 1975 Everest trip.

Nice obit here in the Washington Post.

All those who've owned a Terrordactyl ice tool raise your hands!

Not a climber but another Man with “Big Balls” we lost this week. RIP Chuck Yeager.
