It would be nice if someone could find a list of his most important climbs. I want to know something about him that doesn’t involve his death.

Climbing often takes you to faraway places where there aren’t any police around, so it can be more dangerous. I wouldn’t go to Algeria right now, but it’s up to you to decide how much risk you’re okay with. If you’re with a group or guide, it’s much safer than going alone or with just one other person. When I went to Egypt, we had military escorts in some areas and a guard with a gun on our tour bus. In Turkey, the Kurds at the base camp of Mt. Ararat had AK-47s for protection.
