Peter Thorogood was killed in a fall from the Inner Rottal ridge on the Jungfrau on Tuesday 25th August at about midday.
He and Steve Hinshelwood had started the climb from the Rottal refuge the day before but they were caught in bad weather and had to spend the night on the ridge just below the summit.
The next morning they decided to descend but Peter slipped and fell on a traverse. Even though he was roped he fell far enough over the side of the ridge to sustain severe head injuries which proved fatal.
Our thoughts go out to his wife Lynne and her two teenage sons at this difficult time.
