Trashing Tassie ... it's beyond salvation 15-Mar-2011 At 11:24:57 PM jesus

I know I have ended an era that started when the dolerite formed sills in Northern Tas during the Jurrasic ................and also a fiercly defended ideology of some 40 years .... but when i saw all the bolts at the Star Factory in the Freycinet NP .... and no one giving a shit about the bigger picture ... I thought ... a bit like Gerry I spose ...

>>> If you don't like the bolts on some routes ....then don't climb them - I don't care - I >>>enjoyed the first ascent and thats all that matters...

BUT .... I DO know that my new route ' contribution ' heralds not only a new ideological paradigm at Ben Lomond ....it also paves the way for a new exciting wave of progressive climbing in Tasmania ....
