Bit sick, but
RIP Patrick Edlinger (15.6.1960 – 16.11.2012). God of free climbing - enjoyed global success popularising this breathtakingly difficult and dangerous sport. You can watch the great man in action here, ascending the Gorge du Verdon in France - no rope, no shoes, no problem.

Cause of death? Fell down the stairs at home.

D'oh.

He forgot his bag of rosin.

That is fucking insane.
How the hell did he do that climb? Does he sweat glue or something?
