Pioneers of Tassie's Best Climbs 23-Sep-2016 At 1:04:31 PM Tastrad

Yes Bill, its a terrific article and I got inspired by it. I was a little puzzled as to what he meant about repeating a climb is to lie in another man's grave.

I messaged Lyle a couple of days ago and this was his reply: `Every little or big act we carry out in life is like digging our grave. It's taking us closer to death. I have taken some liberties with language and imagery in how I have written it. A second ascent is like re-living someone else's life, perhaps...but I'm not sure I thought it through when I wrote it though.'

Now that McMahon has gone and I get on some of his climbs, I understand what Lyle meant..I've laid in McMahons grave many times, captured part of the dream or the reason why he was inspired to climb that bit of rock for the first time.

That's part of the reason why I like putting up new climbs all the time, its the creativity, the discovery, its dreaming the vision and seeing it actualized on the rock.
