It has just been reported that Rob Milne died nearing the summit of Everest.
Like most other posters, I only knew Rob through this newsgroup. But since moving to Scotland, I've become aware of his scientific achievements, and his work with the SMC. He was such a dynamic guy.
A great loss to us all, but so much more for his family - very sad news.
