on monday the 28th on older chap passed away while solo top roping on neat and cool. me and 4 other climbers including a guide from the u.s. got him down to the base of pink flamingo, to the EMT'S. but it appeared he passed away from natural causes (?). does anyone know who this fella was or his name??

The climbers name was Tony Cousins. Died while rope soloing of a heart attack. Tony was a climber of 50+ years who made a big contribution to the early Squamish scene. Condolences to family and friends.
