I actually think this guide is a useful contribution. The reason it was put together is to encourage more climbers to get out there and enjoy some slab climbing in a beautiful place. The area deserves more attention than it receives. I don't find this tired or dubious.

I agree the beta inserts and pictures of protection are not essential. I don't find them offensive either. I'm still going to get scared whether they are there or not. It doesn't really matter once you have climbed a route a few times.

The new Canberra select guide is being done by a completely different group of people. I'd assume the style and vibe will be very different to the Northern Slabs guide. I'm looking forward to it.
