Depends on what you define as harm. Climbers have never been shown to have drilled directly into rock art in Victoria, however we have climbed directly over rock art, and we have put up adjacent climbs which are unacceptable close to rock art. To take an extreme definition of harm, TOs have even objected to the permanent chalk stains left on overhangs.

>Yes there was a bolt placed NEAR art place, was immediately removed, that's it.

I think you might be getting mixed up with the "fake" bolt, which was actually part of a cage installed by Parks Vic. As far as I'm aware the bolts installed around rock art (in the Black Range) were never removed.

>Nothing comparing to what day visitors do all the time.

That's not an excuse though, because damage caused by tourists is should not be acceptable either. If anything, that's a reason to ban hikers, not a reason to give climbers free reign.
