Is a tale of very low quality behaviour.

I can't help but think that a surface covered in rock art makes lots of too-convenient handholds and footholds for the less adventurous climber. It would be a sad case if a future laser scan showed that there had been damage, but at least it would give some evidence that measures need to be taken to protect the carvings. I reckon there ought to be at least a second scan at some point to see if there's been any erosion. Though I suppose this wouldn't automatically have to be the result of climbers.
