I just want it to be clear that although a lot of people think Grampians rock is the bestest rock in the universe - that it doesn't mean it's the strongest rock in the universe! And that tru-bolts have no place on the high trafficked and best routes in the Grampians. Sandstone, no matter what type, is a weak and porous rock.

Exactly my point. The bolting got stuffed up the first time, lets not do it badly the 2nd time.
