Ethic
The route developers have dedicated significant effort to ensure the safety of coastal climbing, with the majority of bolts on seaside cliffs being glue-in inox anchors or inox bolts. Nonetheless, always remain cautious as climbing by the coast can be particularly hazardous, and consult the guidebooks for re-bolting dates. Given the high humidity during winters, some attention is also given to removing moss from certain routes in the spring, so please help out when you can (without endangering any protected species).
A clean climbing movement is gaining traction, so while some older areas may feature bolted cracks, modern crags typically offer opportunities for trad climbing.
Overall, most local climbers are generous in sharing their new developments and are welcoming to visitors, with only a few anecdotal exceptions in specific regions.
