Where would the money come from to fund it, who will own it and get the profits from it? The most obvious answer is whoever comes up with the energy and money to produce it. Currently there are two competing forces producing guide books in Tassie: the Craglets group and Climb Tasmania. Both of these groups have their own agendas, which doesn't necessarily involve considering what the wider climbing community is interested in as far as guidebooks go. Although the CCT is inactive it does still exist in name, has as one item of its charter the express purpose of disseminating is to disseminate information on climbing in Tasmania and it has a bank account with some thousands of dollars in it. I for one would like to see this money used towards funding a new Mt Wellington guide rather than sitting dormant in the bank.
It seems also likely that Additionally, the Hobart City Council might look favourably on subsiding a guidebook, with considering all the money they put into encouraging recreation on the mountain. Some advertising could also help defray the costs of a guide.

There are lots of things to think about, but wouldn't it be nice if we could somehow get good if there was a new book out there, top quality book in print?
