198 THE FELL AND ROCK CLIMBING CLUB JOURNALhe was first and foremost a lover of the Scottish Highlands, ofwhich he had a detailed knowledge equalled by few, if any, andit was on his suggestions that exploration was first made, someforty years ago, of remote cliffs that have since become popularclimbing grounds. By the time that he joined this Club he hadabandoned active rock climbing, which in its modern formwould hardly have appealed to him, but he never lost his enthusiasmfor the Lake District Fells. He was an artist by profession,and a walk with him was a delight as he pointed out the beautiesof the landscape; but he was more than a painter, he was oneof the few men who could teach others how to look for and toappreciate the lights and shades, the buttresses and hollows, andthe wooded hill sides with the rivers winding down them. Hisknowledge was so minute that often when he knew of the intendedroute of a party he would tell them where to go so as to obtainthe best view of a particular feature, and he was seldom wrong.All will regret that they may no more look forward to hearinghis cheery greeting at a Club Meet.G.A.S.F.
