Rob Gauntlett
The untimely deaths of climbers Rob Gauntlett and James Atkinson were certainly not something I expected to read about on the BBC News website on Sunday.
The loss of a pair of climbers with such humility and passion for their occupation is desparately sad. What makes it more of a shock for me is their youth - both 21 - only a year younger than me. A huge loss for their families, friends and the global adventure community.
