Buckaroo Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 bablefish translation We learned this Friday night the death today of Patrick Edlinger at the age of 52, who was found without life at his home in La Palud, in the Verdon. Thirty years ago, his film "The life at your fingertips" had done return the escalation, and particularly his solo full in the gorges of the Verdon, in the history of the mountain. It was to participate in the meetings of the cinema of Grenoble next Thursday. The causes of his death are not yet known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Trick Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 The article also mentions an interview he did with them earlier that week where he mentioned his love of climbing and quote him saying that he regrets nothing from his life. Then it goes into speculation about his alcohol problems. It probably wasn't a climbing accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
