The cross erected beside the crevasse where Jeremy
Bailey, Doc John Wilson and Dai Wild lost their lives, and where Geoff Lovegrove led a brief
service in their memory on 26th October 1965. In the distance are the mountains
of Vestfjella, where they were heading. The following season an engraved memorial plaque
was placed on Pyramid Rock. See note by Tony Haynes. See also the memorial cairn on base.
