Aidan CarlssonGuest
I went to the cottesloe wall on tuesday morning and they have now erected signs saying “climbing prohibited on this wall”. Well i proceeded to start climbin and the next thing I know a council worker came over and told me to stop climbing. That is the first time that has ever happened. So that is a warning out there for you all.
John KnightMemberDamn! ….. Damn!…. pfff!
never got a chance!!! pfff! pff! mmwwwnngg!
TocMemberHi all,
We’ll have to check this out.
We have a committee meeting next Wednesday, and we will get in touch with the council and see what is happening.

Aidan CarlssonMemberHow did ya go with the council??
TocMemberAiden
Haven’t yet. Too many other things on, but will do it. I’ll put something here when I do.

TocMemberHave made an initial contact with the council. They have banned climbing over liability fears.
I will write to them asking for more details and also as to what can be done to resolve the problem. Can’t say more than that at the moment.

alexMemberyou think the signs are bad at cott i saw pieces of glass cemented into various cracks at peppermint grove yesterday ensuring harsh injuries 4 the unweary.
TocMemberRe Glass at Peppermint Grove.
I haven’t been there, but I wonder if cementing glass into cracks wouldn’t be considered as setting mantraps. This might actually be a criminal act. Does anyone out there have a more valid legal opinion than mine?
Cheers

RossMemberWow, that’s new. Obviously some local resident decided to be clever. I suggest taking a chisel and hammer next time you go and removing the glass (plus maybe a caulking gun and some white filler putty for covering up the remains). Should be a pretty easy repair job. I cannot think of anything useful the Council can do about this, there already is a No Climbing sign. Whoever the prick is, he will soon see that there is more of us than him.
TocMemberGuys,
And if it was the council cemented in the glass? Am I paranoid? Hope so.

No chance of the Council cementing glass. That would increase their liability, not reduce it, hence no point. Probably done by someone who regularly walks past, and does not like climbers on the wall. Someone very selfish and very very stupid.
AidanMemberAny more contact with the council with regards to climbing at Cott??
