Film award launched in memory of tragic Scots climber who died on Ben Nevis
05.01.2023 - 08:27 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A film-making award is set to be launched in memory of a man who died while climbing Ben Nevis.
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.
Mr Brown was known as an "avid" film maker when on his adventures during his free time. The award will recognise short-films, with the only rules being they must be no longer than two minutes and include bright colours, outdoor adventure and food.
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.
"He would never manage to make you expect what he was going to wear next, it was always another level up of colour. He was always renowned for climbing in winter with a pair of golden axes, there's not many about."
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.
"It needs to have a bit of adventure, bright colours and some food."
Mr Brown was described as "inspiring" and "wonderful" when he died following last summer's tragic accident. Attendees will also be able to enjoy a traditional Scottish ceilidh, the Scottish awards for excellence in mountain culture; a film festival and opportunities to try a range of outdoor activities.
