On slack-lining, I think it's great but I'm too old to take it up (too much chance of injury trying to learn this with aging reflexes).
The one quiblle I have with it at Arapiles is the practice of putting lines up and leaving them there for days. On aspect is the noise of unattended slack-lines in the wind.
The other is the potential impact on helicopter rescues. If there is a slack-line in the area you cannot have a helicopter coming close, especially with a paramedic on a winch cable. The lines just aren't that visible enough. There was a situation last year with an accident in Major Mitchell gully. The slackline rigged between the Dunes Buttress and the Bluffs meant it was a no-go zone for the chopper.
Can the lines be dropped when not in use, including overnight? I know setting them up again would be a pain, even with the rigging at each end still in place, but they do create a problem if there's an accident. |
