Ben, you are a very naughty boy and I shall have to spank you when I get home. 7 people at top camp is bad, if everyone did it, the impact on the area would be immense. And you don't need to be a hydrologist - have a look at the catchment - basically that gully - the rainfall in the area - makes Nati look wet - and the size of the tank. The only thing possibly excusing using all that water is that not many people will be silly enough to go to Moonarie in the middle of winter and it might get enough rain by spring to refill. Maybe the only reason you think it is a daily arduous hike is because you carry all your stuff up and haven't done it as a daily jaunt with nothing but lunch and water. Besides, camping at the bottom, i get to have a big tent, comfy mattress, quilts, picnic table, eski with cold beer, rest day access to showers, swimming and more cold beer.

I agree Hanging Fred Bonnet is a nonsense route. As is the other traverse on that wall. I liked Casablanca though.

I'll take champagne instead of water next time we catch up. Or a belay on stinky project :)
