Colin Kirkus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Colin Kirkus (19 June 1910-13 September 1942), was one of the most influential climbers Britain has ever produced.

Jack Longland described the greatest rock face in Wales, Clogwyn Du'r Arddu, as "Colin�s Cliff". Kirkus' series of new routes on "Cloggy" was unparalleled until the emergence of Joe Brown, 20 years later.

Kirkus also climbed extensively in the Alps and made a pioneering Alpine-style ascent in the Himalaya in 1933. He was killed in the Second World War in 1942.

Kirkus left the world of mountaineering two tremendous legacies: firstly his pioneering climbs in Wales and elsewhere, and secondly one of the finest instruction books ever written "Let's Go Climbing!".
