Cellist sets on climbing challenge in honor of late wife
Peter Dixon, principal cellist at BBC Philharmonic, began climbing the Wainwright summits in the Lake District a month after his late wife, Clara, died of esophageal cancer in March 2023.
He plans to complete the final five summits of the challenge this week, finishing on Great Gable, the first mountain he and Clara climbed together.
At each summit, Peter leaves a pebble with Clara's name to honor her memory.
He established the Clara Dixon Trust to support Heartburn Cancer UK and raise awareness of related cancers.
