How to Be a Responsible Climbing Tourist
“People are very excited to share their community, culture, and crag with others, and climbing in new locations is a wonderful way to expand your awareness of this sport while gaining new experiences, stories, and friends.”
Climbing tourism, when practiced responsibly and with an effort to uplift local communities, can be an incredible driver of economic growth. In this chapter, two members of GCI’s leadership provide key ideas that will help a climbing tourist practice ethical and respectful behavior to ensure climbers continue to be welcomed to destinations for generations.
