Thank you sister Wendy for making the point using Dreamtime Wall example, for having a moratorium on any new bolts at Rosea, as this is exactly what many who have an eye on the future don't want to happen there.

kieranl bro, I think you missed the point when you made that statement.
We may not be around to see it happen, but I imagine there will come a day when not climbing like Alex Honnold does (now), will be the exception to the norm of our pastime, and having some place great to test ourselves against will be needed.
Yes I know, you put up this route and that one too at Rosea, but they will be considered the introductory warmups of the future, that the bumblies will learn the Honnold style of climbing on!
... Kinda like when hot Henry Barber woke up Aussie climbing to the future possibilities yeah?
