Just to have my two bob…. It would be great if the abseiling groups were not part of the 40 people. I think if there are 20 abseiling people, there still could be 40 climbers, particularly when peoples partners/children/spectators are also counted. As long as we follow CAWAs climbing code and ethics, one group per route at a time, the quarry could easily handle 40 climbing parties.
Thanks for all your hard work Kate and other CAWA people
