Are you aware if rockfaces are being bolted and sites are being overused?

A climber left this comment on the Savegrampians climbing page:
"Climbers really do reek of privilege. While few people will acknowledge their own impact on the environment while climbing, few of us can really deny observing the impacts of climbers as a whole on cliffs and environments.
The Parks Victoria ban effectively removed some toys from the toy box of climbers, while the whole rest of the toy box is right there open to be played with.
The fuss, the letters, the outrage by the community shows less an understanding of why bans have been created in the first place and more a blindness to our own privilege."
