It won't be relevant.
Did I tell you I am Aboriginal?
Not in any white fella guide, but my inheritance by word of mouth informs me that my great grandfather put up the first today-grade-18 at Bungonia.
It is incidental that he was after bats as tucker at the time.
Since others benefited from his downclimb first, tucker gathering, then reascention, it became known in our folklore as the Tucker Route.
As far as I know, the whiteys have since documented it as a cave an not a climb!!

Prolly won't make Ur list though, but we are starting to get used to that.
We'll change history though when next generation rewrite tha imaseriosinadeqate book.
