Climbing banned Centennial Trev Blue Mtns - NPWS 28-Apr-2015 At 5:34:30 PM hotgemini

Yeah, I'll echo the sentiments of many of the others here.

I'm a committed climbing community access advocate, I believe that collaboration with land managers (like the various state Parks and Wildlife Services) is the future.

The catch is this (and I'm mostly writing this for the benefit of land managers doing background research), the land managers have a spectacularly poor track record on effective consultation.

Every time they undertake a clayton's consultation like North Head it serves to undermine people like me within the climbing community who have put their reputations on the line by advocating in favour of collaboration and it serves to vindicate those people who said that we should continue to act unilaterally and without the knowledge or consent of land managers.

Whilst I regret the bolting of the route in question and understand the frustration of the individual rangers in question, at a broader system-wide level when I read this phrase "They have been developed without consultation and approval from NPWS" all I can think is that you reap what you sow.

/end rant.
