American climbers like Ron Kauk made the pilgrimage, and overseas hero-status climbers like Jerry Moffat, Patrick Edlinger, Wolfgang Güllich and Kim Carrigan came to the Gunks as a sort of rite of passage into American climbing. “All those guys knew how to place gear because they had been brought up in the trad climbing era,” says Clune.

'...Kim Carrigan was so close to climbing what would become Oz’s first 31, Lord of the Rings at Mt Arapiles, that he tentatively gave it a name – Serious Young Lizards – but it was not to be, as he repeated fell off the final slab...'
There's no doubt that Kim was the first Aus to be climbing grade 30+...cos DaveJ reckons this route is harder than Punks
THIS IS A GREAT METAPHOR FOR KIM'S SEIGE OF SERIOUS YOUNG LIZARDS
The last rider/climber is of course a metaphorical Sefan Glowacz...who nails the steep head wall...gets established on the slab , by doing a neat side flick to the right ... then throws a hand full of victory chalk off the cliff , to finish ( dirt flicking from back wheel )

Hex-ima.seriousyoungliza; you have history being modded by us on Chockstone so I will be brief and to the point.
Although you have been appropriately called out by AP in his response to your goading, it is likely not just him (?), and I, who find you tiresome when you degenerate to such low levels in your posts.
You are treading the fine line constituting abuse which contravenes Chockstone policy.
Please raise your standard or you will find your thread locked.

'...3rd Ascent Kim Carrigan, et al 1980?
One of the world's top climbers, he took a long (50+ foot fall?) on the route, adding greatly to the route's intimidation factor. Heard 2nd hand that the fall was due to a super "relaxed" belay, and off-route climbing. Apparently the belayer said something along the lines of "he doesn't usually fall on 5.12". Which in 1980 was .... '

Kindly, please never, ever refer to me as 'Mate' - I'm Not your mate alright? Nor shall I contribute anything further to this utterly tiresome, sycophantic thread.
Shall hand the reins over to others to continue the dialogue. Whether anyone takes your bait remains to be seen.
Have to cremate my dearest old friend this week and really not in the mood for your rubbish. Don't mention me again OK. Please. Thank you.
G'night,
AP.

When you put the article thru the translater , it comes out like this :
'...In the same year the Czechoslovak Alpine Association organized a trip Frankenjura and Pfalz where the best mule Slovaks saw with their own eyes what is free ascent. Sýcora Milan, the son of a Czech emigrant, led the group for climbers eager rocks and, to their surprise, climbed a IX +. At that time they met Gullich W. Kim Carrigan and other personalities in the bag with toothbrush magnesium,. Ours were not able to make only some eights but remained amazed by the new style of climbing and the use of magnesium. They were confident that home will be able to imitate Western aces and began a workout thinking....'

Not really sure why this book needs to be called The Carrigan Years. There is a definitely a story to be told about Australian climbing from 75 to 85 (whether it be book or film), but Kim is only one of the players. There were a lot of characters who made a significant impression both in Australia and overseas in all manner of climbing... Jon Muir - hard soloing and mountaineering, Louise Shepherd - cutting edge onsights, Greg Child - new routes on El Cap and Himalayan peaks as well as hard free climbs, Mark Moorhead - cutting edge free climbs, hard solos, Himalayan exploits, Mike Law - for everything weird and whacky and occasionally hard.
If I was going to name the star character, it would be Mt Arapiles. It was quite literally home for all the leading Australian climbers and a must visit destination for leading climbers from abroad.
I'm sure Kim is worthy of a biography, but if you're focusing on that ten year time period I would be searching for a different title and a slightly different focus.

Do you have any idea how sick of hearing this tired old shit we all are? Seriously, for the first ten years I was climbing (while Baxter was still editing Rock), every fuching magazine had something about 'the New Wave'. We used to joke about it (in the late 90's) "is this going to be a Kevin Lindorf issue, or more of a Glenn Tempest issue?" And this was more than a decade after the fact!?!?
It's the same shit with the 'Stonemasters' in the U.S. We get it, they were good, they did a bunch of new hard routes (mostly because they invented training, then dogging and eventually rap bolting). The problem is, these guys and their mates also took over the climbing media. So the rest of us have been reading the same story over and over again for 30 fuching years! I swear to god, if I ever read another John Long piece about some whacky occurrence at Suicide Rock in 1973.............
Fuch the Carrigan years! How about the Stu Wyithe and Dave Jones years? How about the HB and Steve Monks years? How about sticking your heads outside the Araps bubble and take some interest in what Giles, Crunch, and Ant were doing in the Carrigan years?

DAMO !!! ... MAAAAATE !!!!! ....long time no share on a thread ...
I reakon this is the best quote on the entire Chockstone web site ...
http://www.chockstone.org/Forum/Forum.asp?Action=Display&ForumID=1&MessageID=126176
'...Every 6-18 months; freak out about pointlessness of mundane urban existence, ditch job, go live in the dirt somewhere, watch climbing form magically rebound 5 grades in a month, eventually get bored with rocks and hippies and slip back into mundane urban existence...'
...that is SOOOOOOO relavent to SOOOOOOOOOO many ppl who were touch by the MAGIC / MADNESS of life in the Pines during THE CARRIGAN YEARS ...
