Climbing with respect
A respectful and mindful approach to nature
A respectful and mindful approach to nature
Here at Climbers Paradise Tirol, we provide access to free topos, keep you informed about closed-off spots, and help you plan your routes… we do all this to introduce more people to the thrill of climbing. Because we’re convinced it’s the most wonderful sport in the world, and because getting active in nature is simply incredibly good for you.
But: more people in nature also means more litter, more traffic, and more potential for conflict. We want to take responsibility for this, because we’re convinced that, as a climbing community, we can act in a forward-looking way here. And indeed, we must.
Let’s simply
do it in such a way that nature doesn’t even notice we’re there. Apart from the bolts, that is. But once we’ve managed that, we’ll have found a sustainable path forward. And everyone benefits from that. That’s why ‘Climbing with Respect’ is a matter close to our hearts. And we know: it’s close to yours too!
Take these guidelines to heart, carry them with you, and spread the word. That way, we can continue to enjoy wonderful moments on the rock in the future – with respect for nature!
Climbing is about experiencing nature and taking responsibility. Through ‘Climbing with Respect’, Climbers Paradise has worked with experts to develop practical guidelines for nature-friendly climbing. Discover tips on consideration for others, sustainable transport, nature conservation and respectful behaviour on the rock – for harmony between people and nature.
