Mark_Husbands Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Probably everyone everyone has already read this request and decided to respond or not, but i've got a couple days left to collect comments, so here goes again. Should there be an understood code of conduct at climbing areas, or is individual freedom nore important? Would you voluntarily give up certain climbs, styles or activities to conform to local codes of conduct? ·If there is an accepted code of conduct at a climbing area, how can climbers enforce that code on other climbers? Are you concerned about losing access to climbing areas? Are you concerned about damage to local climbing areas (or the climbing experience) because of crowds or climbers who engage in inappropriate behavior? Should we be mainly concerned only about how our individual experiences are affected, or the experiences of all climbers? · It used to seem that climbing areas in different regions had their own community of climbers who agreed on codes of conduct. Is this still true, or has the growth of the sport and an increase in travel by climbers made regional standards less important? · Is it better for agencies to regulate climbers’ activities, or is it better for climbers to self-regulate (or is no regulation necessary at all)? · And so on. Any comments would be helpful. Thanks to everyone who has commented so far-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
