my my, he was just poured into those leggings!

[DaveC]

I can tell you where and when those lycras were bought and I think I even remember what the price was!  
Is that a Kim Carrigan pic btw? It looks like it was taken up by Power, Corruption & Lies at Arapiles on the first day Gullich wore the tights - I suspect I was the mug holding the other end of the ropes in fact (having driven up from Melbourne the night before with the requested attire.)

In fact, I suspect this was taken on the same day!

[Jaspersharpe]

Yes it was taken by KC.

KC had a photo deal with patagucci before most people knew such things existed.

Sly Stalone, Kim Cardigan and Paul Smith. 

Ha! Bonus point for the historical Sly reference! Nice to know somebody else remembers Paul as well. Do you know if the good doctor still active?

[duncan]

Do you know if the good doctor still active?

No idea, I was wondering if someone here might know.

Here are some really old skool photos.

They're mainly what my dad (Ackers) took in the early 60's when they rented the hut out above the Stoney Cafe.

Enjoy.

[willackers]

Cheers lads.

My dad has hundreds more pictures of early/first ascents from the 60's, he has a massive box full of old slides and negatives.

I forgot to mention that it's Chris Jacksons website that they're on, he scanned a load of the slides and negatives and did the write up so thanks to Chris for that.
 

[grimer]

Well if i could lick a stamp and put it on a wad point, I'd post Chris and your dad off one for darn tootin.
