Yep couldnt agree more. It might seem like I am nit-picking here but I love Tassie WHA. I think its disgraceful that energy has been put into regulating climbers and bolts in WHA which is like .0001 of activity in the area when the govt. is looking to open it up for logging. Parks put your energy into something else!

As far as bolting on lead. Thanks Dr. for pointing that out to me. My analogy was bogus. It does seem that they are only against power drills.
