I agree wholeheartedly with that 'point', but when did I ever claim I was going to sterelize the entire crag. My only intention was to go up there and clean a couple of existing routes on a crag which I rarely climb at anyway! As usual the thread was hijacked by bullsh.t comments from reactionaries who haven't bothered to check earlier comments in the threads. I thought it was a decent thing to do if I took time out to give a very little something back. I'm still going to go up and do it for those that might appreciate it. All you smartarse knockers probably have a pretty good idea of what you can go and do!

Ok then, let's lynch Robin Miller and all those other eco terroists who have destroyed Arapiles. Those 'appalling' routes like Auto De Fe were once new routes Neil, and as for chopping trees to do a first ascent, speak to some of the 'new wave' climbers who did first ascents at Araps in the 80's. Some of Natimuks most accomplished climbers, some of whom are now staunch environmentalists are guilty of just that.
