If our attitude to cultural heritage bans is that we'll break them then we've lost at the outset. Showing disrespect to cultural heritage will confirm to Aboriginal Victoria that there is nothing to negotiate with us. Our only valid (or viable) negotiating position is to acknowledge the presence of cultural heritage and ask how climbing can respectfully co-exist with it. That may not be possible at some sites - it may be at others. We now have a long road ahead of us.
