I assume Simon was referring to Camp Hog who were a group of New Zealand anachist climbers. I don't think, even with Claw's turn of phrase you'd really want to write too much about what they got up to.

As far as the other characters are concerned, their activities have been quite well documented in the various Arapiles and Grampian guides. The problem with writing biographies / anthologies is, as illustrated by the Simon Parsons interview, that all of the characters of the period were doing lots of different things in lots of different places - meaning only the individual could write his or her own story. I've written a number of articles about this period and have found that to make it readable, it needs to have a specific theme - you could manage a couple of humerous paragraphs on climbing under the influence of Magic Mushrooms, but that'd be about it.
