A surprising amount of people do BBB as their first multipitch! And I reckon a good amount will never rap into the Grose to do anything else - even mirror ball is intimidating (19 on carrots! And it's, gasp, run out!), they cant place trad gear to do Tom Thumb, and they don't read the guidebook closely enough to know about Bellbird Wall.
I completely disagree with this, but I do know these people. And if someone broke an ankle or dropped their glasses they would definitely sit tight and call a helicopter. |
