Google and I do not know what a “Glasgow keely” is. Is that your question? All we found was this.

This was a very hot day, with unusually cloudless skies and a blazing sun. Both of us being in the category of ‘old crumblies’ ascended at a gentle pace. The views were stunning but it was more interesting to observe the other climbers, like an Austrian in full Leder hosen in 34°C temperatures standing with his arms outspread shouting Wunderbar, this was assumed to be at the views but it was more likely to be draft up his trouser leg cooling his tackle. We reached the summit without much trouble apart from a Glasgow Keely who considered AMLH a hero.

It’s Greek–er, Glaswegian–to me.

You will have to wait for the UK Dopers to show up, I guess.

…the “other” UK Dopers, I guess…

From here:

keelie (rhymes with steely):

1. A keelie is a young working-class male from a city or large town. The term
   is generally derogatory and implies that the person is rough, tough, and a potential hooligan.
   In Glasgow, however, it is sometimes used more neutrally. Also, in Glasgow girls can be called
   keelies.

a Glesca keelie
The word comes from the Gaelic gille a lad.

2. A keelie is also an old-fashioned name for a kestrel.
   This sense is probably imitative of the bird’s cry.

So, then, was the mountaineering keely who considered AMLH a “hero” male or female?

I still don’t understand the OP, well, there did not seem to be a question, but I’ll confirm that the “gillie” explanation given above is correct. Haha - or I should say, the only one I have encountered thus far.

I like the kestrel bit.
