Unique Christmas Gift – Joe Brown / Ron Fawcett / Eric Jones signed print

We relaunched the BMC Access & Conservation Trust this year and Phil Gibson has done a superb limited edition line drawing of Craig Bwlch y Moch, Tremadog to help raise funds for the Trust. There are fewer than 50 prints remaining at a special pre-Christmas discount price. Each print is individually hand-signed by all three climbing legends. I’ve even bought one myself (at full price – no staff discount before you ask) and it looks great above the mantelpiece.

Season’s Greetings,
Dave Turnbull, BMC CEO

The BMC (British Mountaineering Council) is the representative body that exists to protect the freedoms and promote the interests of climbers, hill walkers and mountaineers, including ski-mountaineers. The BMC recognises that climbing, hill walking and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions.
