Kim Carrigan

Kim Carrigan

Kim Carrigan (1958- ) was Australia's leading exponent of rockclimbing during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Carrigan put up several hundred new routes on crags around the country, in particular at Mount Arapiles, Victoria, where he was based for several years. He repeatedly extended the limits of Australian climbing, initially by free climbing an old aid route "Procul Harum" to establish the first Australian climb graded 26 under the Ewbank grading system. He went on to climb the first grade 27 ("Denim"), grade 28 ("Yesterday"), grade 29 ("India") and grade 30 ("Masada"). All of these climbs are located at Mount Arapiles.
