Reseach again Muki. Jake is Jake Bresnehan, a certain Tasmanian climber with several grade 30+ ticks to his name and has taken up camp at Taipan for a month these last two Springs. He has been hard at work doing new routes at Taipan, including at extenension to Snake Flake, Mr Josh and workgin the Groovy Extension. He is one of the new wave of young climbers re-discovering Taipan.

I attempted to contact most of the other people you mentioned in many ways - but did not get replies from any of them. I worked hard extracting the words I did get. Not everyone wants to write something for a magazine. Retired climbers espeically have very little interest it seems. I published EVERY word that anyone wrote me. I was told by others that some of the other 'players' would get in contact with me 'if they felt like it'. They never did.
