I wonder if the guiding company's have anything to say about
track care??

Between the 4 guiding companies in the Blueies, I bet the number of times sweet dreams is guided per year is less than 10...

I'm sure if you asked for some funding they may be interested in helping out, for the sake of making the track easier/safer for their clientelle.

I don't agree with people trying to pin erosion on every track on commercial companies. sure maybe Mt York or Narrowneck, but thats about it for crown land climbing sites.
10 groups of 3 people per year- 30 people, only using the track one way isn't much use at all.

Rio rungs might work, but alot of that little slope is dirt holding boulders together, so it too may not be permanent.
Maybe Claws onto something with the track to the left option? how does it look? does it avoid the little steep section above and below the hole?
It might be worth putting steps in that way and letting the original track regenerate a little??
just my 2 cents
