Chris Walker

Some tragic news.. Some readers of my blog may well have already heard about Chris Walkers death on Buchaille Etive Mor on the 24th February, which has been widely reported in the press.

Chris was a friend and fellow Mountaineering Instructor (MIC) with whom I shared many ascents with both here and in the UK and abroad. I would just like to send out my since condolences to all his friends and family. He had a passion for the mountains which he shared easily with his friends and those who joined him out on the hill; regardless of whether it was in the Himalaya or the rolling hills of the Lake District.

I can't really say much more but will leave you with a couple of images of some great days out: Ski Touring close to Val d'Isere, rock climbing on Pavey Ark and Creag Mhor Thollaidh.
