Climbing etiquette and taking responsibility for caring for crags is emerging as a big issue. Chris Noble at Climbing magazine has just written a great essay The Mentorship Gap: What Climbing Gyms Can't Teach You, The way we learn to climb has evolved. The way we mentor needs to change, too. . Everyone should read it.

The Access Fund considers the tidal wave of new and under-educated climbers to be the primary issue threatening climbing access in the U.S. today.
“Unless climbers as a community can address the problem, we’re facing ever-increasing rules, regulations, fines, permitting, and closures,” says Access Fund Executive Director Brady Robinson.
