Agreed! Whether it was a "rope swing" or something else, there's little chance it will bring a smile to the face of National Parks personnel, and I would expect to see a tightening of restrictions in the forthcoming Plan of Management.

So who are these "'rope access specialists" who know exactly what they're doing. And why did they invite a 'professional' photographer to record their 'adrenalin pumping' activities? Surely Mitch Cameron wasn't there by accident!

It all seems like a set-up situation, so one has to ask who expected to benefit?

The climbing community has not!
