Dunno about Baxter, he just tagged along on everything didn't he ?
My "all time top 5" most influential Australian (rock) climbers in order are:
. Carrigan
. HB
. Claw
. Chris Shephard
. Moorhead
Apologies to Kevin Lindorff, Chris Dewhirst, Noddy Lockwood, Steve Monks and John Muir, amongst many others. Henry Barber only missed out because he 's not Australian.
World climbing:
. Gullich (4 grade advances speaks for itself - first 31, 32, 33 and 35), revolutionised sport climbing but did hardcore stuff too ...
. All those gnarly Yosemite dudes back in the 60's and 70's who revolutionised the sport.
