Cause of death
after he fell asleep while driving. ... His media commitments due to his burgeoning popularity following his work on Cliffhanger have been cited as reasons for his extreme fatigue at the time. I had moved this to talk because, as it purports to explain the reasons for his death I feel it should be adequately sourced before re-inclusion. Ashmoo (talk) 11:32, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Weird sentence
Does anyone have any idea what this sentence from the text is trying to say?: "However, it is important to note that this exception only exists on the French grade system, while for the UIAA system that Güllich himself used, the four steps were consecutive without exception (X, X+, XI-, XI)."

 * Yeah. There's two different grading systems. French and UIAA. He graded his climbs in the UIAA scale, which was then converted to the more popular French scale. Under the UIAA grading system he climbed the new significantly hardest climb in the world 4 times in a row, but that stat doesn't hold for the converted grades.
