Let it be said that Prohibition in this context never works, especially with adventurous types like climbers and highliners.

is anyone talking to the highliners about this?

I believe high lining is still young and new. So you are getting your a rag tag group of dudes and dudettes taking ever opportunity to explore their passion, just like the climbing community was decades ago right?

There must be some association or group that is responsible for monitoring/tracking all the routes that are currently bolted in araps. Wouldn't it be smarter and safer to work with highliners and getting good infrastructure setup and maintained.... and perhaps more importantly getting that information publicized? Just like climbers have established central resources.

I think this will ensure the responsible installation of infrastructure, minimise impact on the rock, and maximise safety for everyone.

Does anyone know of an initiative going on like this?
