Humzoo, I agree with a lot of the stuff you're saying, but our springy sounding friend also makes a solid point. You had your time on rock, got to do whatever the hell you wanted. Now that you're a washed up old fart, you've come to the gracious realization that climbers need to give up some of the best crags in the world. If this had arisen in 1981, I wonder if you would have been so chill?

Even at your prime, I doubt that you were capable of climbing the top shelf stuff in the Grampians and these days you wouldn't get off the ground, so you're not personally giving anything up. Take it from me, the climbing on Taipan is better than Ben Lomond and Booroomba, and I frigging love Ben Lomond and Booroomba.
