A fair few of parks staff actually climb and even among those that don't there are plenty who have good relationships with climbers. Not sure if you are aware but work by Climbers in Barrenjoey actually just won a Landcare award. Funnily enough, relationships there are really quite good at the moment. So relationships can change, but it is up to us too.

As for the specific issue at Shipley. Those in the know, will know that money was offered by climbers to build a toilet there, and the offer stands (hopefully we can get some progress on that). Likewise climbers last weekend went and actually cleaned up the area (and built tracks etc as well). There are some issues, but I think you can see clear positive engagement from climbers to work through them.

There are some really good relationships around. I think if we all get behind them, we can make some real change. There is certainly room for more participation in these activities (many more people were climbing than helping).
