The Good, the Bad & The Ugly
It is an excellent idea that nefarious routes should also be highlighted. It may be that they are over used, but it could also be that they are dangerous or in danger of becoming so. Where walkers are concerned, it is very useful have a comprehensive view of their intended route.

Walking is intended to be a safe enjoyment. Go mountaineering if you want thrills. How much better if alternative routes are suggested for popular routes. It behoves us all to assist in the preservation of life and limb ... as well as our beloved mountains!

Coolcurtoga: Don't be put off, it's not that bad
thomas_g 2 weeks ago.
Climbed this today, it looks awful from the road, but once you're on the slope it's not that bad. There is the odd ankle twisting hole, but it's fairly easy to navigate the shelves to the top. Abo...

thomas_g 2 weeks ago.
Access is best from the west (Barraboy) or east (Priests Leap). It's a pretty boggy rocky walk from either and be warned the going between this top and the edge of the main Barraboy ridge is fairl...
