Thanks to Catherine Holland for sharing the sad news about Lee Hansche’s passing. I’ve partnered with many NH rock climbers over the years to access Peregrine Falcon nests to put ID bands on chicks and collect unhatched eggs for contaminant analysis. Lee was exceptional in how he combined his interest in birds and birding with his unrestrained gusto for climbing. Lee and I did 6 climbs together over the years, at Holts Ledge in Lyme, at Russell Crag in Woodstock, and at Rumney Rocks. In addition to the climbs themselves, he was a leader and strong advocate for establishing limited seasonal route closures to safeguard falcon nests with the goal of having birds and climbers share the cliffs in a sustainable way. He will be greatly missed!
