Double standards about bolting in Tassie wilderness seems like a real issue.........Theslow eroding of old school trad crags into sport venues is happening all over Australua........

Ben Lomond, Mt Wellington & Fingal aint wilderness. They all have had a huge amount of human impact on them.

Tasmania has a well defined wilderness area:
The Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area
http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/index.aspx?base=391

It includes, amongst many other unexplored crags:

Frenchmans Cap
Federation Peak / Eastern Arthurs
Western Arthurs
Frankland Range
Mt Anne
Mt Geryon & The Acropolis
Mt Oakleigh
Cradle Mountain
Barn Bluff
Walls of Jerusalem
The Guardians
Precipitous Bluff
Sentinel Range

*These* are the crags we should be fighting to keep bolt free.
