Grampians Bouldering Guide - Feb 22nd 19-Jul-2010 At 6:34:32 PM alrob

Message

Some of you people are absolute tools. I've been bouldering in the gramps for over 5 years, so I think I'm one of the more qualified climbers here to speak on the subject. Firstly, good job on shooting down the authours hard work to produce one of the best quality guides to climbing in Australia. Be proud of yourselves. Secondly, I can tell you with confidence that the online guide has maybe 50% of the content the book has, and 50% of that is inaccurate anyways! Now I know steve Kelly worked hard on it, and so did I, but our collective knowledge is still a far way off what Dave and Chris were able to gather from various sources around the country and the world. And as for there not being a need for this guide when there is one free on the net, what a load of shit! How many incarnations of the grampians and arapiles routes guides are there? And yet we still all buy the new updated versions which contain maybe 10-20% new content. Stop bashing the efforts of others just cos you don't find the guide relates to your climbing choices ie route climbers living interstate now.
