The difference I think is that this would be a commercial activity.
Surely a correctly managed accountable commercial set up would be less damageing than random groups of "to the max" wanabees turning up every weekend.
However, arguments against are going to be pretty tricky to formulate. Loads of paying customers already use Burbage
Plus the increase of climbers visiting the area is down to the commercial activities of the climbing world.
This whole zipline bullshit would be an utterly inappropriate use of a nation park and beauty spot. We have tottering worthless quarries for this kind of shit, haven't they ever heard of horseshoe?
how do we stop the shouting and swearing, and the ground erosion under the boulders, not to mention all the fag butts nx to established boulder problems, and get rid of all the unsightly white stuff?
wtf is weaseling anyway???
I had some similar thoughts, but I think, as you say, that it's just an inappropriate place to do it. Tis a toughy though if, as I do, you use burbage on a regular basis for both MBing and climbing.....
