Ethic
The route developers have invested significant effort into ensuring the safety of coastal climbing, with the majority of bolts on seaside cliffs being glue-in inox anchors or inox bolts. Nevertheless, always remain vigilant as climbing by the coast can be particularly hazardous, and consult the guidebooks for re-bolting dates. Due to the high humidity during winters, some work is also dedicated to removing moss from certain routes in the spring, so please contribute when you can (while ensuring no harm comes to any protected species).
A clean climbing trend is gaining traction, meaning that while some older areas may feature bolted cracks, modern crags consistently 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.
