Nice work on your comments, kuu. I also liked (*ahem*) this comment by one of the first respondents:

"I can think of a half a dozen good reasons why climbing is not appropriate in most parts of this park, but it is not obvious that there is nowhere where climbing would cause negligible damage nor endanger those below. I can understand their frustration about the blanket ban. I can also understand the natural inclination of the NPWS staff to avoid having the consider every cliff in the park for unsuitability for climbing. I hope that they have learned that there are stakeholders who need to be placated, or at least to be educated. "

I wonder who really is to be educated in this instance? Who would be below climbers, given the nature of the cliffline on north head...
