Matty Boy-C'mon if you dont climb trad than you have no prespective on the "actual" trad climbing.if however you do,then update your profile.
Second,congrats on your "facts & figures" of Aust climbing history/ethics,If you have climbed trad in aust you would understand the need to keep these areas pure to the "old" ethics,like what is proactively going on at Ben Lomond-you wouldnt say comments like this=
"Basically what I'm saying is, good luck on the no bolting policy (bolting is illegal in all National Parks, not just Tassie) but if I went there and felt that I had to really do a new route and it needed a bolt, I would put it in and not give a rat's arse what other people have told me what I could and couldn't do. "

So youre happy to break the NPWS law you needed to make me aware of ,cause you "dont give a rats arse",and i know the NP Rangers in my area would have your arse for placing ANY bolts.So how about that Australian Trad Ethics Speech you posted earlier?????
