One reason of the reasons I love climbing, like everyone else, is because nature.

I love spending time in the woods, on real rock. It's beautiful, peaceful, and what climbing is all about. Un/fortunately so many people realize this and want to love and experience nature and climbing that it's hurting the ecosystem and endangering the very things we all love. The possibility of climbing areas disappearing is horrifying and awful and scary to think about, but if we don't all work to protect them that's exactly what will happen.
The least anyone can do is get educated about outdoor ethics and be respectful the next time you're out climbing - or hiking or whatever it is you do out there.

* On a side note that relates: Andrew and I went to Rocktown last weekend and were blasted with music from one direction and loud didgeridoo from another, and it was sad. Please, please: don't play loud music at the crag/ boulder field. At the crag it's dangerous, and at the boulder field it's just disrespectful.
Appreciate the beauty and solitude of nature because:
 |
| Mountains are beautiful and we get to climb them |
 |
| Sunsets are beautiful and they happen EVERY NIGHT |
 |
| Rest days from summer training spent at swimming holes |
