This is shocking punch in the gut, I've always admired him changing climbing and living free. I am very sad and sending condolences to all close family and friends of Dean and Graham. It just doesn't seem real. I would like to hear more about Graham - I have just edited this because I didn't know the info yet about Dean's partner. Dean & Graham shall soar above us all on a most beautiful flight of eternity....

I also think very wrong to rush to ST to "be the first to post" and still provide wrong names and details. Lack of respect to say the least.
RIP. Dean huge inspiration forever.

I well remember Dean's infectious smile as he soloed past me and disappeared into the Narrows on the Steck Salathe a couple of years ago. He was always wild and free....maybe a bit of an anachronisim in today's overly structured world. I'm so sad to hear of his and his friend Graham's passing.
Condolences to their loved ones.
