SYL = Serious Young Lizards, Kim's projected name for the ring route. Saw him fall off the last hard move around March '85 with Wolfgang Gullich holding the ropes ( I actually have a rather dark slide with him on the finishing holds where you gain the upper slab.) I think he actually got onto the slab and slipped on one occasion the following summer as well.
Failing on the ring route was not the only reason Kim walked away BTW, he was offered a plum job by Mammut in Switzerland starting in early 1986 so once his motivation with his last project dropped he pointed Stefan Glowacz at it shortly before he left.
The wally posting all the shite on this thread is right about one thing, A Carrigan book would definitely be worth a read, I always liked his writing.
