Always inventing stuff – Mark Vallance

So sad to hear that Mark Vallance has passed away. He was a good friend, and him being “the” guy that brought us cams, i.e. “Friends”, we all owe him at least a moment of thanks. Of course not only did he transform most climber’s lives but he helped transform the BMC and the CC too! A great loss.
