Yep, Carrigan too. Didn't know about the other guys though. Ace Cooper inspired a lot of guys, though (in my humble opinion only) he sucked at being a maths teacher (had him for three years in a row). I think the teaching just filled in the time between adventures.
I should mention Mike Myers there aswell (for those of you too young to know him, lots of his pics in the Point Perp and Sydney Bouldering guide. Also a bit of a rave in the Syds Bouldering guide, though it's a bit misleading as it states him as being a 'bouldering only' climber). |
