Arapiles pioneer Jim Newlands passed away on the weekend after a period of ill health. Although he hadn't really climbed for a long while, even as he got older Jim remained involved in the climbing community - most recently helping replanting the Pines with natives.
Jim was a nice guy and Real Character. They don't make em like Jim any more.

A great character. And his story of the first ascent of Bard a classic of Australian climbing history.
