Grampians Access 2019 21-Jun-2019 At 3:33:38 AM ithomas

ODH. You are sounding a little creepy now. Try not to embarrass yourself any more than you already have and focus instead on how to contribute positively to the problem in the Grampians: it’s bigger than my tick list (which as it turns out includes climbing in the Grampians most weekends while living in Melbourne in 1976 and 1977) plus many times before and since.
Oh yes, the zenith of my climbing was attained in 1972. After that it was a downhill slide; but a very happy and enjoyable downhill slide! That is not the point. The access problem is more significant than anyone’s tick list or ambitions. At this stage, any suggestions from armchair climbers should not be dismissed. I guess you also dismiss opinions from non-climbers as well?

By the way, Hillwood is a lovely geological oddity that has been completely done over by sports climbers. If I was the owner I would close off access as well.

Just like anyone, if I have any new thoughts about the access problems I will post them here. I hope that someone other than you reads them. I think that I will now self-moderate and stop baiting or being baited by you. Waste of time.
