'...I don't really think you know what you are really debating, this psuedo intellectual discussion using flawed ethics does not excuse the abuse of my friend at a crag or this level of argument.

There are a lot of more serious issues facing us and the world. Had it not been for the action of myself, Jamie, and a few others you would not have Booroomba to climb on at all, it could have been permanently closed after the fires, where were the voices then? only a few spoke out.

This so called debate can only give fuel to those bureaucrats in society that would see all adventure sports banned, and there are plenty of those.

We need to encourage participation, get people involved and active. Only then will we see reductions in lifestyle related conditions such as Diabetes and Heart disease, that is the big picture. Every person who takes up climbing because it is safer and more interesting is one less couch potato and less for us all to pay in taxes to support their failing health. More people will be active if safety and access are improved. If thats what it takes, then so be it
