I was gunna make a sarcastic remark, but honestly beginners at Pt Perp spook me as well. I'm actually pretty strongly against big beginner and even intermediate trips from the UNSW club going there (they weren't there this weekend) but they tended to happen anyway. Personally I don't want to take responsibility for someone there unless they have a grade 16 minimum (preferably 18) and have seconded trad climbs before and multipitch experience.
"Can't we just top-rope easy routes?" well...yes and no...top-roping there is more serious than leading at Thompsons Point and requires more skill.
People want to go there though and fair enough, it is an amazing place. That's why "Room with a View" is so popular despite being 6m of very average climbing all the way down the ass end of the crag.
(Amazes me that someone's willing to rap off a two point anchor there. The first time I build a trad anchor there it had like 10 pieces and I spent half an hour agonizing over it)
