  Rock climbing and abseiling is known to occur in the planning area, particularly at Gara Gorge and Wollomombi Gorge. There has been no geotechnical assessment undertaken in the planning area to determine where rock climbing and abseiling can be safely undertaken. In the absence of such assessment NPWS is not in a position to identify or nominate areas for rock climbing or abseiling.
