take it outside , boys ...

U lot still dont ' get ' it ....Kim's ' scene ' was not Arapiles-centric .... as it was for say Mark Moorhead ( when he was focusing on rock and not alpine stuff)....Kim's SCENE was THE INTERNATIONAL SCENE ...eg USA , England , France , Germany .... the only reason Kim bothered with Arapiles was because of the world class quality of the rock ....

The only other INTERNATIONAL rock climber to emerge from Australia during the Carrigan Years , was Louise Sheppard ...with her SIGNIFICANT ...tho generally unheralded at the time .... first female ascents ... .. eg Seperate Reality

U can mention anyone else from those years an u will find they were generally ' tourist-climbing ' when O / S.......ie ... not really fratenizing with the TOP world climbers and being involved with pushing the free climbing standards and styles of the day .... the way Kim very deliberately and PROFESSIONALLY was doing .....yeah I know...Java ...well his main focus was big wall aid and the Karakorum ........

yeah here it comes
