Kim Carrigan BOOK 12-Aug-2015 At 4:33:57 PM imaseriousyounglizar

The general plan is for Java , Trumpet and Claw to research and write the period from 1975 to 1985 .... and for Kim to write the first chapter ( rowing champion at sydney grammar to 2nd ascent of TotemPole 1974 etc ) and also the final chapter .... this will cover the period 1986 to 2015 BUT WILL NOT BE ABOUT WHAT KIM DID DURING THOSE YEARS ... but rather his thoughts and views etc on how climbing has unfolded in australia and around the world during the past 30 years ..

This book will be a MASSIVE catharsis both for Kim AND for those who have an intense fascination with the history and development of Australian climbing .... especially as Kim will have to address his ANGST in relation to SYL and to his very real brush with death in the Glass House Mountains .... when Kim sqeezes these 2 particular zits , Im sure the rest of his Carrigan Years memories will gush forth ....
