Rock climbers are up in arms after the announcement of new, sweeping bans that will stop them from climbing a world-famous mountain.
The ancient Mount Arapiles in Victoria, Australia is a world-renowned climbing hotspot, attracting more than 70,000 visitors each year to scale its sandstone face and surrounding peaks. However, under new plans announced on 4 November, climbers on the site could soon be fined up to $229,233 / £176,427.
