The volume of climbers' input that was disregarded is scarcely believable. Issues such as management of vegetation, responsibility for hardware and interaction with other users of the park are easily manageable.
The idea that paying operators might be allowed to use North Head while recreational climbers would not reveals what is either callous or devious disregard for potential users of the park.
The history of climbing in the park appears to have been ignored as well.
There is no indication in the draft document that the invitation for comment was anything other than an attempt to provide a veneer of consultation.
I have no doubt that reanalysis of the available data by an agency interested in promoting recreation in Sydney would come up with diametrically opposed findings.
