Date Created31st January 2021CommentsI was one of the party that set off on foot up Mt Wilberg at a hell of a pace, to reach him, fortunately for us conditions improved so the Chopper got there by the time we had reached the Trig. And we were turned back, much to my relief, as we still had a long way to go

Very sad when these things happen

I remember that day we were told of his death. I was awarded the trophy, Arch Weir memorial for citizenship in my final year at school

Karyn MacRae
Noula Markham I remember this too

Alison David Houston
Noula Markham I was in his class at that time. Was very sad time. I got that trophy too.

Megan Wilson
He was the nicest guy and a really great teacher. He was climbing with Ross Levett I think. Such a sad and tragic ending to his life.

Glenn Johnston
Megan Wilson I don't remember this. Was this in the 1970's? [ I once worked in forestry with a different Archie Weir and wonder if they were related]
