Should introduce cattle grazing into the Gramps, the Libs tell us that controls fuel loads nicely.

Back on topic though, I think the OP's sentiment is a good one. If you've never been to some of the few crags that are still open then it probably woudn't hurt to hold off on your Taipan project for a while and try them out. The climbing might not be as special but it'll make a nice change of scenery. One of my favourite weekends was at Black Ians, and I've been meaning to check out Barbican rocks for a long time....
