Line 1:

'''Stuart Smith''' (a.k.a. '''Stuart Steen''' a.k.a. '''Stuart Smita''') is a [[United Kingdom|British]]-[[Australia|australian]] actor born in [[Winchester]], who grew up in [[Sidney]].

William Cecil Slingsby: (1849-1929) English Climber and alpine explorer.

He first came to Norway in 1872 and fell in love with the country.

After studying acting and playing a few parts in [[Australia]], he moved to [[Hong Kong]] and starred in several movies in the 80's, including "[[ninja]]" flicks by [[Godfrey Ho]]. He also worked extensively as a [[voice actor]], dubbing chinese movies into english.

He has been called the discoverer of the Norwegian mountains and the father of Norwegian Mountaineering insofar he seems to be the first who actively pursued climbing in Norway and was the first person on several mountains.

Most famous perhaps for being the first on "Storen", or Store Skagastøstind (2405 m.a.s), the third highest mountain in Norway. It was considered impossible to climb then, but Slingsby defied popular notion and climbed the mountain, for the last part alone.

He is particularly popular among bad movie fans due to his overacting that makes him twist his face in [[grimace]]s.

He also spoke and wrote strongly about several other mountains f.ex [[Slogen]]

He is now a financial counselor in [[Thailand]]
