Certainly is a concern if there is no real track. Im sure this crag gets visited enough to warrant a track that may reduce the errosion.
Agree with sbm though about getting out there with some marking tape and getting some track established before to many people go wondering all thorugh the area.

Good work as always Stu. Certainly putting in the good effort for the area and to have 30 people turn out is excelent.
