John Cleare:

But rock was his medium. On it he was superb. He was tall and slim with powerful arms and steel fingers and he moved over it with the ease and grace of an elongated leopard—never have I seen him awkward or harassed on even the most uncompromising climb. Whatever move he made it was photogenic. Bubbling with enthusiasm and assurance one could want no better companion on the rope and he was the safest climber with whom I have shared it. His death is such an ironic tragedy. [1]

Johnny Dawes:

A Midsummer Night's Dream. Incantations. Edge of Extinction. These routes sent a shiver down my spine in the 80's.

Superb, bold, thin, majestic lines. Pegs tied off, little stoppers, huge runouts.

Pete absolutely epitomised British rock climbing. [1]
