Nice vid though I am surprised that last route was bolted - looked like loads of good cam placements along the way!

They all looked like they were bolted into submission.
Totem pole having at least a bottom bolted belay.
Pity as it looks the ultimate adventurous climbing for those with the skills...

On the plus side the bolting in Tassie is done well (stainless glue-ins IIRC) - the routes also take quite a commitment to get to and weather is changeable (at best) - as pure adventure routes, yep they would be great trad, but at least this way we get some traffic.

On the plus side... it is sunny (sometimes) http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.php?id=78418

And if you are thinking about visiting Tassie... do it. It is incredible, like NZ, but better

Cheers
