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, |

The famous side of Slieve Beg is the NE, gashed by the Devils Coachroad. However the SE side also has its drama.Taken on a frosty slippy day from Cove. |

 Collaborative entry Last edit by: Colin Murphy 3 days ago.
Not normally done in isolation, this top usually forms part of a walk involving Dromderalough itself or Mangerton. One approach is from the north, which has the advantage of a gently rising track ... |
