Myself and several other people I climb with have had just about a gut full of the rampant mess that you have created in the Grampians over the last few years.

It's not bad enough that routes have been going up with 7 bolts in 16m (these routes just reflect your short sited view) but this continual addition of rap stations and belays for the safety of all is going to far!

If you or your friends that you justify your actions can not do the routes the way they were first climbed and had numerous ascents, then go do something else or work on your skills so you can. If you feel the risk is to great, then don't take it.

I have had several heated discussion with the NBF in the past over their actions, one point raised was that there activities were just the thin edge of the wedge and other lesser climbers would see it as exceptable behaviour. Your actions of late have proven this to be so!

Your selfish actions do nothing to advance climbing, just drag it down to the lowest common denominator.
