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. Nevertheless, it is crucial to remain vigilant as coastal climbing can be particularly hazardous; always consult 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 contribute when possible (while ensuring no harm comes to protected species).
A clean climbing movement is gaining traction, meaning that even though some older areas feature bolted cracks, there is consistently space for trad climbing in modern crags.
Overall, most local climbers are generous in sharing their new developments and are welcoming to visitors, with only a few anecdotal exceptions in specific areas.
