RIP Andrew Finlayson 28-Feb-2007 At 11:10:17 AM belayslave

Andrew was a husband, father, climber and all round nice guy from Comboyne NSW. Anyone who has
been to some competitions up in Sydney or around Australia is sure to have seen him, or his children
Shawnee & Shane, having a blast while climbing.

For consistancy i will paste an email below which seems to be the most accurate record of the tragic
passing of Andrew.

"Most would have now heard that tragically Andrew Finlayson was killed on Friday in a climbing
accident.  I have heard a number of versions but the most accurate seems to be he fell from the top of
a cliff when a boulder he was on moved and he lost his grip, he was setting up a climb for the
weekend.  Both his children and one other climber were with him at the time.  he died from injuries
sustained from the 40 metre fall, he was choppered out on the Saturday. He is survived  by Allison
his wife his daughter Shawnee and son Shane"

This is such a tragic and saddening event. My sincere condolences to his whole family, his friends
and all the climbers who've been touched by his life.

Some more information can be found Here,
including details of the funeral to be held this friday.
