Remembering Robert Milne
This month marks the fifth year anniversary of the death of Robert Milne. (rmilne) Robert, from Scotland, was a MountainViews member and had contributed a number of summit contributions to MountainViews in 2004.
He had set out to climb the highest peak in each of the continents. He succeeded in climbing to the highest point of Australasia, Oceania, Antarctica, Europe, Africa, and both North and South America. His final goal was Asia and the mighty Mount Everest. Roberts’s final contribution to MountainViews was made on 19th November 2004. It was a very witty piece on Mount Leinster and well worth reading. Just six months later he died near the summit of Everest during his attempt to reach its summit on June 5 2005.
His memory lives on in the contributions he made on this site which are made all the more poignant when we remember that they were written so shortly before his death, |
