Leave No Trace
What does it mean to Leave No Trace?
Leave No Trace is the concept of leaving the least amount of environmental impact as possible, while enjoying the great outdoors. An even better practice is to leave the cliff cleaner than you found it! Follow the steps below to ensure that you leave a minimal
footprint on environmentally sensitive climbing areas,
ensuring that we can all enjoy them for decades to come.
PLAN & PREPARE
Know regulations/special concerns of area. Prepare for weather and pack appropriate clothing, food, water, etc.
REDUCE IMPACT
Stay on Trails. Camp on existing and permitted sites. Travel in small groups. Place your boulder pad/climbing pack on a non-vegetated surface.
DON'T BE A LITTER BUG
Pack out your trash and pick up any trash you find. Learn where/where not to pee and how to properly bury poo outdoors. Read more
LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND
Don't damage rocks/trees/plants. These areas are highly sensitive will take years to regenerate if you destroy it.
NEVER FEED ANIMALS
Animals will become dependant on human food if you feed them. If they come to expect human food, then they will stop hunting/gathering/migrating.
NO FIRE
Unless in designated/permitted fire pit, we see this WAY too often, the consequences could be devastating.
BE CONSIDERATE
Be considerate of other user groups, climbers, the rock and environment. Don't play loud music or scream profanities. Travel in small groups and communicate/share with people around you.
