In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:
Great News. However it is made very bittersweet by the misreporting and the hijacking of our generosity - suggesting this is guilt related, or that 100s of 1000s was spent on rescuing runners etc.
Personally I donated the fee which would have been due to Mr Weir should I ever visit his via ferrata to the MRTs instead. I'm glad he helped out but felt that he had gained quite enough benefit (publicity) from the events of that weekend already. ]
