Story
On the 7th March 2023, we will be climbing Scafell Pike in memory of our friend Jason Harrison who sadly passed away early this year.
At 978m it is England's highest peak, and will be certainly a challenge, but definitely worth pursuing for a cause that Jason would have appreciated.
Jason (top middle in cover photo) lived an active life, always curious and looking for the next adventure. He once walked 150 miles all the way to Wales because he “had some spare time”, jumped out of a plane, and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. He was a successful electronics design engineer, and lived his life to the fullest.
He loved mountains and nature, enjoyed fixing things, and spent a lot of time helping others. He encouraged those around him in their personal and professional pursuits, to push outside of their comfort zone, and try new things.
Jason’s passing has deeply saddened and shocked all who were lucky to have known him well. Most of us joining the walk on the 7th March will have enjoyed many hiking and climbing trips as part of the university mountaineering society with Jason. A few of us have ascended Scafell Pike previously with him as a guide, and it only seems right to do this in his honour.
The date is special as it would have been his birthday and a way for us to remember Jason on this day, doing something he would have enjoyed, and for a cause he cared about.
