Simey, while I agree with you in supporting cliffcare, track rebuilding and replacing old fixed gear as a way of giving back to the community, I cant understand your sentement about not encouraging others to go and establish new routes. With that sort of mentality we would have none of the fabulous routes and climbing that we have today, Taipan, Van Deimens, Muline, the Gallery, Nowra and much of the Bluies would be empty and we would all still be bumbling around on grade 5 choss piles at the pines in Whillans harnesses. Oh wait some people still are! Not saying go bolt crazy, all for mixed and trad routes, but as usual it seems it ok for one generation to go out and establish routes and yet the other better stay at home.

How about we guide them to do it the correct way straight up, so they dont have to learn by making the mistakes our generation did at the expense of the rock and we dont have to go replace it all again in 5 years.
