Glen Kowalik

Glen died on Thursday  last week after a long period of ill health. He was an early member of the Climbers Club and climbed extensively in Tasmania with new routes ranging across the State from the classic Zorro at Rocky Cape in the far North West to the Cocks Comb on La Perouse in the far south.  He was an experienced alpinist having climbed in Europe and New Zealand,  and worked for the Antarctic Division as a Field Training Officer and as Station Leader on Macquarie Island. His climbing career was cut short by heart disease and he was an early recipient of a heart transplant. Not to be defeated, he resumed work till very recently as a bushwalking guide in Tasmania, and visited both Nepal and India.

Vale Glen, you will be much missed.

Funeral is at Turnbulls on Wed, 24th December at 3.00pm
