Not really. It's more than a couple of people, and it's more than just an internet forum. It is by far the most representative collection of climbers in Victoria.

If everyone applies that logic, then god help us. I have hundreds of bolts spare and a pretty decent drill, so I could just grid bolt 10 projects up the blanker faces - it's vertical enough that there are tons of lines that will go. Put a tag on them, reserve 'em. And better climbers than I could bolt another 20 or so. We will end up with 300 bolts there with your logic. That place is awesome and every bit of steel that goes in detracts a tiny, tiny bit. They add up.

F*&^ it, let's grid bolt every unclimbed line.

Note: It's only "absurd" because you disagree (and because you want to put up some new routes there and have your name live on forever ...)
