Ridiculously, there are moves afoot to ban camping, bush walking, bouldering and climbing in the Grampians ....

Can't see it getting up and who'll police it FFS?

Caveat emptor....

AP.

For what reason, Andy?

"Two separate instances of climbers bolting within a meter of archaeological sites—a handprint in the rock in both cases"

Sounds like the Oz version of Craig Y Forwen ie climbers get (arguably) what they deserve. Hope they get it sorted though.

There is some info on Simon Carter's FB page

At a quick glance the areas mainly affected seem to be in the Victoria Range, home to some wild and majestic crags and routes, but not the most popular Grampians venues.

Surely you have to blame the idiots with the bolting drill.

Surely the Gallery at Buandik is one of the most popular venues, Rog?

My detailed knowledge is clearly limited! 

...... especially where bouldering is concerned.

If that is the case, who the f*** would do such a stupid thing!?

I guess there is a chance of ignorance, or just not seeing/realising you're bolting a line that close to something like that, but it happening twice.....?
