John Rooke Corbett
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Rooke Corbett ( 27th September 1876 - 13th August 1949), better known as J. Rooke Corbett was one of the early members of The Rucksack Club and their Convener of Rambles. He was the fourth person to complete the Munros and the first Sassenach to do so. In the 1920s, Corbett compiled a list of hills between 2500 and 3000 feet with a prominence of at least 500 feet. It was not published until after his death, when his sister passed it to the Scottish Mountaineering Club. It is now well known to Scottish hillwalkers as The Corbetts.
