...FROM COAST TO COAST...KCz climbs continue to inspire , challenge and enthuse new generations of rock climbers ...

KGB (26) ...West Oz...

'...Mega Classic...I found it was easier once I found the sequence and beta. Some faffing around at the start before big launch to "jugs".
Some strong bouldery moves before some more jugs and the lip. Final hard move over the lip to glory. Amazing climb =)...' (Zhangter P @ thecrag)

APLINE (12)...Tassie...

...Paul Thompson (not the dude above or below )...had this to say on thecrag...

'...A dawn-free-solo contriving myself onto the pink Aplite streak for superior climbing (and harder moves). Absolutely freaking stunning...'

MAKALU & MT EVEREST ...RIP Mark Moorhead ...Bill Denz...Fred From ...Craig Nottle...etal...

...Reinhold Messner climbed most of his 14 x 8000 metre peaks ...during the Carrigan Years ...here he is on Mt Everest...in 1978 ...

..........................................................................

...youv got street walking...then bush walking ...then scrambling...then rock climbing ...

...serious scrambling morphs into ' rock climbing ' at about grade 12...

...between 1975 ( Apline ) and 1985 (SYL)... Kim climbed from grade 12 to grade 31 ......the 20 grades of ' rock climbing ' that had been established anywhere on the planet at the time ...

...and then came Punks ...
