fair point about top roping but my take on that is that maybe (i want to emphasise maybe) some of these
routes shouldnt have any bolts at all. particuarly if the route is bolted in such a way that it is only
accesable to a small minority of the climbing community. In this case I am not specifically refering to the
big rock routes as I am aware they get a fair bit of attention as they are.

As to the 1300 other climbs at the you yangs there is only a very small number of non crap easily
accessed and safely bolted routes with grades in the mid teens. In the high teens and above the situation
improves significantly.

I suspect there are very few people who would like to see widespead retrobolting and I would
personally be against it. however i do think that climbs closer to melbourne could be looked at from a
different perspective than arapiles etc.
