Climbing banned Centennial Trev Blue Mtns - NPWS 5-May-2015 At 7:58:52 PM Snacks

Message

So, how does an area like Upper Shipley compare to having this area banned (and now apparently with bolts removed as of today)?

That crag would have to be one of the most used areas by bushwalkers and climbers in tandem in the whole Blue Mountains.

Wouldn't want to see it go on my account though... ha ha... as I'm more just making an academic point...

But it is;
- unaesthetic from a bushwalker point of view, though some like stopping and watching climbers... but at least some would object...
- grid bolted to the max
- soft sandstone with climbers possibly ripping off holds onto walkers (unlikely but more of a risk here than at the arch in question)
