AGE: 26 HEIGHT: Huge in stature, small in frame. OCCUPATION: Full time student CLIMBING ABILITY: Lucky he loves Hockey more. FAVOURITE QUOTE: It's not that hard reeeally, we're just weak as piss.

Some would call this man the inspiration behind Crag X, maybe even the driving force.....but those that know him realise he's just tagging along for the ride.

A once great field Hockey player, Ian has balanced his both loves quite well and he can often be seen climbing routes up in the bluey's while recounting stories of his match winning goal the day before.

Ian as climbed as soon as he could walk, mind you that took so time, and has had many trips down to one of his favourite crags Mt Arapiles. On these trips he could often be seen skulking around the Pines, mumbling to anyone who would listen,"It would be a good crag if they put some bolts in it." The picture on the right shows Ian wishing for bolts as he clips the lip on Mt Arapiles test piece Kachong.

Ian was there on the first day David Filans Testimonial Wall was top roped and I am sure he will be there on the day the last bolt is put in. (Well as long as the Hockey seasons over anyway.)
