Rob Brown, of Fort William, passed away last summer
Rob Brown, 33, from Fort William was an experienced climber who fell while he was climbing the UK's highest mountain on July 29 last year. A committee member for the annual Fort William Mountain Festival, Mr Brown's memory will be recognised at this year's event from Thursday February 16 until Sunday February 19 with an award called The Golden Axe.
Simon Pitman, a friend of the climber, and sponsorship and marketing co-ordinator for the festival, said: "Rob was well known for some real characteristics in himself. One was always wearing hilariously bright colourful clothing, just next level. The golden axes are where the name for the contest stems from. He added: "We all knew him for his golden axes. We wanted to put something together to celebrate him and also just to encourage everybody to get involved.Mr Brown was described as "inspiring" and "wonderful" when he died following last summer's tragic accident.
