WTF kind of statement is that???? impact is impact. you can't imply, "walkers don't impact, those places are already impacted upon so it doesn't count"

Im well aware we all impact slightly, minimising it is key. people just need to stop and think for a few seconds. personally i don't like whats happened up at lake huntley. but I'm sure some people may not like the fixed anchors I've installed. so I'm not going to get too high up on any horse when it comes to what user groups holier than thou.

please can we all just follow Rule #1:

DONT BE A DICKHEAD (applicable to all real-life situations)

as for toiling up there, I'm going to be ordering a bunch of WAG bags soon. they're a carry out system commonly used throughout the US and on big-wall routes. i think carry-out is the best option as the reality is very few of us toilet PROPERLY in the bush. ill try to get some extra's so hit me up if you want some to use(if your nice to me i'll even give u a fresh one :P). or even if you just need beta etc!
