Fixed gear guidelines in the Grampians 11-May-2018 At 11:27:39 PM (removed)

1st July 2018 I think you might be suggesting ? Regardless, thanks for posting the new thread.

I definitely support your 500m+ moratorium - which won't be a surprise to anyone following the Blimp / Rosea thread.

Perhaps someone could list the affected crags ? I have no contour map of the area but know that the summit of Rosea is 1,000m so well and truly in this list.

While I personally feel that every route that actually gets done at Rosea can be done safely enough without any fixed protection, I'm happy to compromise to this point if it achieves the major goal of stopping the trend.

The question was answered best for me by Tracey / Cliffcare / VCC whose observations (of the Parks Vic view of us) agreed with my own observations: self regulation isn't working in its current form. Let's try this instead.
