These days, virtually every new Plan of Management prepared for a protected area makes reference to the impact of bolts. Yes, it may be a knee-jerk reaction on the part of Plan authors but we still have to deal with it and argue our case.

It will be interesting to see if the pattern is repeated when the Plan of Management for Dargans Creek Reserve is released.

Land Managers may have an irrational attitude about climbing infrastructure (read ironmongery) but they DO control some of our major climbing sites.
