I guess after the fires in the North, access to the bouldering sites should of been held back a bit longer than the roped areas due to the fragility of the soil? This is not a crack at all your great access work Tracy, just a afterthought since the fires, as I was definitely one to get in there ASAP... I suppose you can look at how Buandik and Mt Fox have recovered with a longer rehab process as a comparison. These areas are much less frequented, and have some sort regrowth and base vegetation.

Maybe Anderson and Trackside, which are easily the worst affected could have some sort of seasonal closures... could/would this potentially do some sort of good? I know it wouldn't be a popular solution- limiting access, but anything is better than no access at all... As Goshen mentioned, there are so many great areas for bouldering in the Gramps, spread the load.
