Scottish climber killed after attempting new route on K2 to raise money for charity 'died doing what he loved', friend says
Mr Norman told BBC Scotland News that Mr Allen was no stranger to dangerous situations.
He explained: "Rick joined the charity's board a couple of years ago. He was quiet and unassuming, but with a really dry sense of humour and a really sharp wit. He was a really good friend and very good colleague.Mr Norman added: "Rick wanted to summit K2. He's climbed a lot of the 8,000m mountains in the world and this was his dream. He set his sights high but he was confident, and sadly this wasn't his time to make it.
"His charity work was so valuable. He was passionate about what we are doing. It's been a real honour to serve with him. In terms of his support for our organisation, we're very grateful for that."
