Norrie Muir
Norrie Muir (1948 – 12 April 2019)[1] was a Scottish climber and prolific first ascentionist.
Muir attended Waverley Senior Secondary School in Knightswood from 1961 to 1965, then served his apprenticeship as a ship draughtsman in John Brown's, Clydebank from 1965 to 1970.
He was a member of the exclusive Creagh Dhu mountaineering club, and with Stevie Docherty and George Adam formed a group known as the "Steam Team". He was particularly active during the 1970s and 1980s, when he made over 30 first ascents in
North-West Highlands
. In 1977 the pair contributed four new winter ascents on Ben Nevis, including Minus One Buttress (VI,6) and Rubicon Wall (V,5) via the 1933 Hargreaves Route, and in January 1978 they made the first winter ascent of Psychedelic Wall (VI,5) in challenging weather conditions.
