Brian T. Dickson (1894-1975)
Brian Dickson took to climbing relatively late but it became and remained very much an integral part of the joyous enthusiasm with which he lived. He was a man of many friends and great kindness with an endearing capacity to bring happiness and affection to those with whom he worked or played. To the many who climbed with him in Scotland, Wales, or the Alps there will remain a wealth of happy memories of a companion firmly competent, and utterly dependable, who whatever the conditions could be relied upon to keep enjoyment and cheerfulness alive. He accomplished many of the classic Alpine routes and when over 60 traversed the Matterhorn over the Zmutt ridge. A cycling accident a few years later curtailed his climbing to less serious routes but he continued his visits to the hills until he was over 80. He was most happy organizing climbing parties of friends of all grades of ability where his genius as a catalyst always ensured a happy party. There can be few men who have brought more pleasure to so many in introducing them to the fellowship and love of the mountains.
