General Climbing Discussion

Liquid Insanity 16-Apr-2018 At 4:24:13 PM Climb Point Perp
Message
I went and checked out these slacklining / highlining anchors over the weekend. It turns out that there are in fact three sets of triple bolt anchors. The anchors are on top of Liquid Insanity, the mega classic ‘Rex Hunt’s Love Child’ and ‘American Bikini Jam’. I wasn’t looking very hard so there may be others. Anyone who knows Point Perp would know that these are all located right in front of the lighthouse enclosure which is a popular public lookout. Given the large number of suitable locations for highlines at Point Perp I think that going right in front of the lookout shows a real lack of judgement. It’s best for public relations to keep a low profile and slacklining in right in front of the general public doesn’t fit with that.

Another thing I think Chockstone readers might be interested to know is that according to their website “Feet Off Ground is a grass roots slackline and adventure COMPANY based in Sydney, Australia”. This was notably omitted in Feet Off Grounds post. Are people paying to use these slacklines? Are these bolts just for an advertising stunt? I also wonder why the hangers were removed from the threaded rod in the first place.

I ran into one of the Rangers in the car park and had an interesting conversation with them on the subject of slacklining. Needless to say they have access to instagram just like everyone else and are getting tired of dealing with the problems it attracts.
