*Climbers can help preserve access* by being responsible users of
climbing areas. Here are some practical ways to support climbing:
COMMIT YOURSELF TO "LEAVING NO TRACE." Pick up litter around campgrounds
and the crags. Let your actions inspire others.
DISPOSE OF HUMAN WASTE PROPERLY. Use tiolets whenever possible. If none are
available, choose a spot at least 50 meters from any water source. Dig a
hole 6 inches (15 cm) deep, and bury your waste in it. *Always pack out
tiolet paper* in "Zip-Lock" type bags.
UTILIZE EXISTING TRAILS. Avoid cutting switchbacks and trampling vegetation.
USE DISCRETION WHEN PLACING BOLTS AND OTHER "FIXED" PROTECTION.
Camouflage all anchors with rock-colored paint. Use chains for rappel
stations, or leave rock-colored webbing.
RESPECT RESTRICTIONS THAT PROTECT NATURAL RESOURCES AND CULTURAL ARTIFACTS.
Appropriate restrictions can include prohibition of climbing around
Indian art rock, pioneer inscriptions, and on certain formations during
raptor nesting season. Power drills are illegal in wilderness areas.
*Never chisel or sculpt holds in rock on public lands, unless it is
expressedly allowed* -- no other practice so seriously threatens our sport.
PARK IN DESIGNATED AREAS, not in undeveloped, vegetated areas. Carpool to
the crags.
MAINTAIN A LOW PROFILE. Other people have the same right to undisturbed
enjoyment of natural areas as do you.
RESPECT PRIVATE PROPERTY. Don't trespass to in order to climb.
JOIN OR FORM A GROUP TO DEAL WITH ACCESS ISSUES IN YOUR AREA. Consider
cleanups, trail building or maintenance, or other "goodwill" projects.
