And there are plenty of routes already at Nowra if want to avoid it too. Variety in climbing is interesting. An interesting crag should have routes that are hard, easy, hard for the grade, soft, bold, safe etc.

Rusty/loose bolts are one thing (and I'll contribute some $ to anyone replacing those), but there needs to be a bit of danger available for those keen to take it, as long as it's clear what the situation is. The fact that these routes have a history and reputation already makes this more important.
