Maybe not the Clachaig, but he used to go to Crafts and Things in Glencoe village very regularly. Once I met him in the Coop in Ballachulish years ago. I plucked up the courage to talk to him and he was very welcoming and ethusiastic. He signed some of my ice axes and I drew him Liathach. He was so unbelieveably busy, all of the time - always writing, editing, sorting through photos, making films, doing talks, charity work, rescue team work, designing, building... incredible. I hope his vast collections of mountaineering equipment, camera gear, photos, films and literature are preserved and documented. He was a very clever person indeed, and his first ascents and expeditions all over the world are amazing and inspiring. Crikey, what a guy. Go Hamish!
