Bundaleer Re-opening and Work Party 17-Mar-2007 At 6:23:03 PM Big Arms

Message

Dear Tracey,

Once Bundaleer re-opens, who is taking responsibility for addressing issues such as belay/ rap points that may or may not exist after the fires? Will the bolted routes be inspected before anyone can safely assume they will not fail? I have taken pics of the place back in early 2006 under the careful watch of PV staff, and well, I think that this kind of work needs to be a priority before we have any more injuries or climbers stuck up on a ledge with no where to go.
It's easy to say " a climber should never trust fixed gear anyway" but how many times have we all clipped into a fixed bit of tat and felt remarkedly more safe than that last piece of trad gear? Not all climbers who will re/visit Bundaleer will expect everything to be as it was a couple of years ago.

Thanks,

Richard
