"Don't bitch about the carrots or the runouts! go and climb at nowra instead"

Well actually I wasn't, I was just trying to point out that as a beginner lead climber, maybe I'll give
some of these routes a go, but then I look at most of them and as you say BP, take responsibility for
my own actions and as such I just walk away, and live to climb another day.

I accept that bolts do deface the area considerably, but I wouldn't have thought the occasional plate
would make that much of a difference. Guess I could b wrong.

I understand that many very good climbers have gone to a heap of trouble bringing the bare minimum
protection that is allowed. Which is totally gr8, but for a novice, well I guess I will stick to seconding
my 21's 22's, build up my repitoire of low grade leading and come back another year. Just glad my
girlfriends parents live so close to stanthorpe, so I'm not quite beaten just yet....
