Bon Voyage - chipped

The start of Bon Voyage has had a large cairn built and a key hold substantially enhanced. While the cairn can be dismantled it is disappointing that someone has decided that they should alter the climb to match their ability. While it has a bouldery start it was/is doable without these enhancements.

...except if no one's watching, as was probably the case here.

I saw this cairn on Sunday; I didn't look close enough to observe the chipping though.

Did you Melbournites ever work out if that route at Werribee had actually been recently altered? Sounds like you might have a serial offender running around.
