History
An active and respected member of the B.C. Mountaineering Club (BCMC) from 1946 until his death in 1999, Richard Harwood (Dick) Chambers made approximately twenty first ascents of mountains and new routes in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia between 1951 and 1967. Described as the “heart and soul of the [BCMC] Climbing Committee in the 1960s,” Chambers served as the club’s president from 1961 to 1963 and received an honourary club membership in 1968. He was an avid photographer.
