Its not the climbing that is the issue, nor will it get banned. Access is and will. Its the fact its in a declared wilderness area and the fact that a track has been cut into this area. There is no need for a precedent as the access methods (Ill avoid specifying them for others sakes) actually defy the outlined rules for use of a wilderness area (There is alot more to this arguement, but I'm not going into it here). You can't just climb and bolt anywhere in a NP, as much as alot of people seem to believe otherwise. Unfortunately there is more to finding new crags than just developing the cliffs themselves.
