Did a web search to see if Dino was still out there climbing somewhere. Then came across this. So sad to hear. So young. I didn't know Dino well, but stayed at his place in Malta for a little while back in 2015. We had a great time climbing every day and sharing a laugh over beers. Dino was a good dude. He shared a story of how he went on a climbing expedition in his younger days to Alaska. He and a team of climbers he was with did the first ascent of some mountain peak, that I can't remember. The team left a Newcastle Brown ale at the top of the route, so others would know, they were the first. I thought it to be a great story.
My condolences to all Dino's family, friends, and loved ones.
I've included a funny photo from Malta. Dino's car was at the mechanic, so he had to borrow this one. It came with goggles and gloves. Hahaha
