Do you think they somehow failed to notice the outcrops at a famous tourist location, 5 mins walk from the city? No, of course not! Every sydney climber who's ever gone exploring has checked out that stuff.......including me, and I lived there for less than 6 months and my favorite pastime is hanging shit on boulderers.

Come on, Damien... get over yourself. I think this is the sort of thing which should be moderated. Pretty much straight personal abuse. Surely it's time ODH had a little time in detention, eh, Mods?

On an extra note. I have recently been involved in a case of internet bullying, and ODH's comment would fit right in that category. The only difference in this case I was involved in was that the perpetrators were 13 year-olds.
