Reply To: Carrot bolts on new route at Barrington Quarry

Replacing carrots around Perth is going to be difficult because there’s so many of them and more continue to be put in. I will help replace them if a re-bolting fund is started but the first step is to stop putting them in. You’re right, this ground has been covered many times before and it will probably continue to be covered as long as carrots continue to be put in. There’s good reason why carrots cause controversy, its not just my opinion.

I appreciate the effort of route setters and can even understand why carrots may have been used for a time but fail to see why the practice continues, especially at a crag that probably already has 80-90% carrots, when most of Australia has shifted away from it? Anyway, I just thought I might offer assistance to an unknown bolter for a good cause but I can see its not wanted so enough said and I will persist no further.
