Rick White (rock climber)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rick White (1946-2004) is an Australian rock climber best known for discovering and developing the rock climbing destination of Frog Buttress near Boonah in Queensland, Australia.

He also founded Mountain Designs camping goods store.

In his later years he developed a muscular disease that prevented him from climbing. He remained active in the climbing scene and coached a number of competitive climbers such as Cass Crane.

After his death, his ashes were scattered from the top of the first route he did at Frog Buttress, 'Corner of Eden'.
