EWolfe Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Amazing people that inspire/inspired you in the sport. Discuss. Wolfgang Gullich was the man that juiced me for years when I started back in the late 80's. Powerful, thoughtful, gentle and spiritual - he had all of the elements that I aspire to in this world of climbing. I still miss him....

chirp Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Its about more than climbing, the all encompassing aspect of adventure, rebellion, respect, and angst. The guy was freaking brilliant "Never apologise, never explain" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
