Yes I do! Even bolted horizontal roofs of several metres... Have a fair bit of aid experience as well...
Am not about to give away all my tricks, but believe me, it's not as 'impossible' as you might think. ..
I think bush walkers have far less impact then climbers, and are generally far better bush-toilet trained... They have also been going there repeatedly for many many decades now ...
Bolts are fixed-gear ie non removable protection. How long have you climbed? Look it up ....
Cleaning up after others who are prepared to leave the mess anyway doesn't do much really, and I don't think I am being negative about it ...
No I haven't climbed there, but I believe there is more then one route, even if some people say there is only one worthwhile route out there ....
Yes the name certainly is a joke, just not a very good one ....
I don't believe the popularity of the area has anything to do with it, it was a bad idea to start with, and hopefully the banning will avoid too many more similar occurrences elsewhere ... |
