all interaction with the environment will have have an adverse effect and to believe otherwise is only ignorance, I am not trying to say otherwise but simply to point out that we should minimise or impact as much as possible, I am just trying to point out that there are many ways to enjoy the environment and point out that walkers and climbers should have equal rights to enjoy the environment and should receive equal consideration, I am more than happy for walkers to enjoy the area and infact would encourage it for it is a bueatiful location, I have personally visited the area many times and could not see the bolts until I was standing directly underneath the climbs and made the effort to find them,I do not feel that the natural environment had been ruined by them,the reason why people do not consult with the national parks is quite obvious, they do not accept that climbing in the national parks and would not approve bolts in any location in the national parks and will not approve the placement of bolts or the opening of any new climbing areas, they have never accepted climbers or given them equal consideration they have given climbers which is all we have ever asked for but never received, the cliffs are far from being grid bolted and climbers have no intention of grid bolting, climbers donot find walkers pesky and I have had many positive conversations with walkers I have met during my days at the crag all we ask for is to get the same consideration walkers expect and have received for many years ,
