I realise I am pretty late to this thread. But it raises an issue that I just don't quite understand.
I am an artist as well as a boulderer, I spend long periods of time in the Sydney bush completely absorbed both internally as well as externally with my surroundings. Many of the areas I climb on hold significant importance to myself and my friends who climb there. Why is it that a place that includes historic significance can't be enjoyed by us. I mean how many people other than boulderers and climbers frequent these areas. I think we are all smart enough to stay off specific pieces of rock ( that may include art etc) But what better way to celebrate our adopted land but experience sites like this in the most spiritual way we know.
