LOL ! --- I'm sure the Reverend Narko will forgive me for my sinz:P

'...the nerve...' ?? ... mate !!! --- for some bizzare reason , Bob refused to publish ANY climbing route info, ( maybe a token bit in his 'Peaks' magazine,circa 1980), until that maverick Mr Parkyn did us all a favour with the tacky , yet very useable, Cragletts effort ...

... legend has it that after a certain climbing accident, in the ' 70z at Frews Flutes , where ' half the Tasmanian Police attended ' ... Bob got pretty dark with his southern counter-parts --- the now deflunct Dad's Army officially know as the CCT--- because he assumed...that they assumed...that he was ... ah-hem ... allegedly ... an unsafe climber ...

... Coles Bay has always been considered 'neutral territory' ... so when Cooper compiled the first guide book in the 90z, Bob was quite happy to contribute info on all the new routes he had done there since the early '70z ...

... Northern Tas ?? ... it took 30+ years before Rogerz 'nerve' finally booted Bob in just the right spot :D
