climbing ethics

Climbing ethics are shared principles that promote respect, safety, and environmental care in the climbing community. They include respecting other climbers’ access and experience, leaving no trace by cleaning up trash and minimizing impact on the environment, and protecting natural features by avoiding damage. Climbers also prioritize safety, use appropriate gear, and respect local rules and regulations. These ethics foster a culture of Responsibility, Stewardship, and community, ensuring climbing remains enjoyable, sustainable, and accessible for everyone now and in the future.
