Hang on a minute...
They haven’t done anything wrong. We might frown upon off track camping in sensitive areas, but it’s quite obvious they may have not had that level of detail or understanding of the sensitivity of the plants where they were.
They ran into a ranger on the way up who gave them advice about where on the summit to put their tents!!
If you watch the gear list video, Will talks specifically about his drone for filming. He did the research and found that drones were not permitted in the national park, and with great disappointment did the right thing and left his drones at home. He also showed his rubbish bag in his gear run down, and obviously did his reading and was carrying everything out.
Cut them some slack. I hardly think the place is now going to be over run with thousands of American tourists.
If we want camping on Ossa banned, well then we should be campaigning Parks for that to occur - not hanging sh** on people who, from where I sit, seem to have made an effort to research and follow the rules.
What does it matter to us if they choose to walk the entire track in four days? They paid their money and walked it how they wanted to - good on them!
