Hi Damien,

While you are down, we should get together and unilaterally discuss the future of Victorian cliffs. I am the founder and president of the Australian Council of Biggerer Rocks Pty Ltd, an organisation devoted to the excavation of earth from the bottom of cliffs to expose the "sick" moves that are literally underneath our noses when standing at the bases of routes.

I think that your group, and mine, share common goals, in that by excavating earth, there is a real possibility of cliffs collapsing on top of climbers standing at their bases, not to mention the fact that the first bolt on many climbs will now be significantly higher and the removal of the growing medium of trees at the base of routes will hamper the supply of sticks for stick clips.

A 200m Taipan wall is a real possibility people. Lets make it happen.

Nick, President of ACB Pty Ltd.
