Mancunian rock climber predominantly active in the 1920s and 1930s. Despite a shrapnel injury to his hand doing the first world war which nearly resulted in amputation he became a strong and forceful first ascentionist most notably on Peak District Gritstone and Cloggy. He went on to establish the (Mountain) First Aid Committee which became the Mountain Rescue Committee and was awarded an OBE in 1964 for his services to mountain rescue in the UK.
On the subject of washing up (no less):
Patience, practice and courage will in time bring their own reward. Not all of us can hope to storm the virgin peak, or be the first to mark the untrodden snow, but even we simpler folk can feel the thrill o f work well done, i t is for us to point with pride to the spotless silver and stainless steel and say with Cornelia, "These are my jewels"!
