I think it's great that there were all those people getting introduced to climbing.

Bit of a shame they have to get shat on by arrogant jerks like Neb and Dy, but I guess there are fools like that in any sport.

Taking the dog wasn't on (I'm not a dog fan), and it would be a shame if climbers taking dogs into the area jeopardised climbers access.

I've been out to Werribee and it's not exactly a pristine 100 year old state park. I was actually able to spot where other people had been BY THE BLOODY GREAT WALKWAY, and the BOLTS, and the CHALK and the LITTER....

... gee whiz, having that dog out there, and all those other people, must have really ruined the Dy and Nebs spiritual back to nature experience!

Perhaps he/she and every other arrogant climber should post public notices before they go on a climbing trip, so that everyone can ensure they avoid the area, thus ensuring the almighty ones have their crags to themselves, as seems to be their right.

I would like to congratulate the organisers of the trip on introducing so many people to the sport.

Shame on the arrogant and presumptuous fools who expect a venue such as Werribee to be free from such groups. I’ve climbed around the world for over 10 years, and I can reasonably say that if you want a peaceful time free from instruction groups, DON’T go to places like Werribee! Pretty simple at the end of the day!

And I’m not sure why Neb had to get on here, and whine and name, and try to shame, when it appears he/she didn’t voice their opinion at the time.
