catbirdseat Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hugh Banner died on Monday at a hospital where he'd been fighting an illness. I cannot find much more information than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TREETOAD Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I wonder if he had any helmets left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattStan Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I had the honor of meeting Hugh a few times. He was a classic old-school Brit climber: short, stout, and full of mirth. And oh did he ever love to talk about gear. He had an amazing prototype of a much updated Dyneema helmet, which will likely never see the light of day.
