Perhaps I misunderstood the sentiment, but in this specific case I would imagine the onus is on the bolter to consult with NPWS (perhaps they did?). Does anyone have any information on this?

If they were placed without consultation I think it would be good if the community helped to respect the wishes of the NPWS and remove the bolts to avoid further damage to relationships with NPWS.

Incidentally I think the plan of management for the blue mountains shows clear consultation, and a relatively balanced view that values activities like climbing. While I may not agree with every part of the document and I do not have experience of the consultation done at the time, it seems clear to me that there was genuine efforts to consider how climbing might occur in the park.
