Totally agree Damo. In fact for a state that has stuff-all in the way of worthwhile easier routes, the loss of West Wall and the Mantleshelf to climbers is significant.
Both routes are better than Sweet Dreams and Tom Thumb (which is shit).
Hopefully overzealous bans like this (and The Fear at North Head) don't deter all climbers from using some discretion and experiencing these classic routes.
