Thanks, fascinating stuff and fantastic photos! One question, will George Ingle Finch be mentioned at all? Perhaps his achievements are not of the type to fit in this series?
Quite possibly. The focus of this series is on big wall rock routes, but the crossover lightweight technologies historically used on the 8000m peaks is relevant. Thanks for tip!
I recently read Wainwright's biography of Finch and wondered why he isn't better known to Australians. It would be very interesting to learn how his climbing achievements fit into the great ascents (if at all), and about his part in the overall development of climbing techniques and technology
