zillertal will certainly be at rish of rocks being crushed....if I end up anywhere near it this coming fortnight!
it would be a shame if this place was lost though, even though its under the radar of most brits its decent bouldering and a fine place of alpine beauty anyway which no doubt quarrying would spoil somewhat.
