EP3 | Neil Monteith on the Grampians Closures and Future Predictions

  • Summary

  • Episode 3 we talk to Neil Monteith, Grampians Climbing Guidebook Author and contributor to SaveGrampians.org Also along is Chris Wallace from ASA What Neil shared on the call that I did not know before speaking to him: Land managers don’t like highlining at lookouts as they are really concerned that if we have jumped the fence to highline, other user groups are going to jump the fence and come and stand next to the cliff edge with us and fall off. They would rather us be out of sight Freedom of information requests found that land managers were checking social media posts and saving them What Neil calls “The western sydney nightclubbers” user group and how they concern land managers The hazards of geo tagging social media posts How to integrate into the community to make it harder to ban the slackline user groups What other user groups (and thus land managers) don’t like What Neil saw slackliners doing 10 years ago that could have had bad results, but the community has now self managed Land managers don’t care as much about safety as I thought - it’s lower on their list than many other things (listen to find out which ones) There are 7 episodes in this series - go listen to the rest now! https://savegrampiansclimbing.org Support slacklining in Australia by becoming a member of Australian Slacklining Association for $10/yr here https://www.slacklining.org.au Subscribe/follow us for updates of new podcasts Follow ASA on our socials for the latest slacklining news https://www.instagram.com/australian_slacklining/ https://www.facebook.com/australianslacklining/
