Trashing Tassie ... it's beyond salvation 21-Jan-2011 At 5:48:13 PM Tastrad

Hi filthy Phil. Haven't seen or heard from you for close to 30 years since the days of the dirty hands gang. Good to see you're still interested in climbing. It would be good to catch up and reminisce about all your great contributions to Tassie climbing; classic routes such as Wasters Roof and Crashing Through The Undergrowth. However, I think your greatest altruistic efforts were in track clearing, by trundling massive boulders down the hillsides. Some of our old mates said you'd lost your marbles and having read your forum thread I believe it. U talk about butchering yesterdays reality, but by the sound of it you have no handle on todays reality concerning the Tas climbing scene, as you observe and comment from a distance (W.A?) via cyberspace. In the mean time I'll just keep doing what I've been doing for the last 30 years adding to the 700 new routes I've already done, discovering new crags and writing mediocre guidebooks to them all.
