Well it’s been very interesting reading everyone’s thoughts.

The vague description in Rockclimbs in the Upper Blue Mountains does describe a different finish to the route. The line I rebolted goes left at the 4th bolt up into Hip Shake Jerk and the start If you batman to the first bolt and pull on to the obvious holds it could go a lot harder than 26 maybe 28? If you pull on the second bolt then climb up and over the bulge that feels 26...It could be that I’m just weak or Geoff is really strong?...It seems that this route has a very confusing mixed history.

I’m not too concerned with FFA's or who and what style it was climbed or what grade it is.

What I’m pissed off about is that this climber (if you can call him that) walks (grovels) around the crags doing what he likes. His behaviour is unacceptable and is in poor form! He is a bad example for future generations of climbers.

And you don’t take a tag off a route without an obvious reason which there isn't.
