That is very sad news. I met Jack often at the cottage, and he was something of an inspiration to me. We shared a profession as well as a love of the mountains, and he was always very encouraging to me in both.
Paul, I couldn’t see how to message you privately, but I’d like the details for the memorial please - my email is hkirk777@gmail.com.
That’s really sad news. Like Harri, he was around a fair bit when I joined the club and was definitely an inspiration - still joining in with working meets and whisky drinking.
I have some very fond memories of Jack.
Jack’s family have reached out to us and confirmed donations are being accepted for the Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation (OVMRO) if people wish to make a contribution.
