A climber and amateur artist contacted me last week, then visited my house to show me the above painting. It is of my friend Russell Braddock (a NZ mountain Guide) who got caught up in an avalanche in Chamonix and sadly is no longer with us. However Russell and I climbed a bit together and on one of his visits to Scotland he climbed with my friend Andy Nisbet and I and we took this photo of Russell climbing King Bee direct.... our photo was used as a template. The artists name is Douglas Spalding. You will be able to view the painting this summer as it is going to be displayed at Kingussie Railway Station.
