Five ways to climb more responsibly

Studies conducted in collaboration with climbing gyms have revealed that travelling to the gym or the crag has a greater impact than producing the equipment that is necessary go climbing!
So, the best thing you can do to reduce our environmental impact is to TRY YOUR BEST TO USE PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND "LOCAL SPOTS".
Applications and sites like Decathlon Outdoor, Climbing Away, Camp to camp, etc., can help you to find new climbing spots before buying the guide to the site.

As an experienced climber, you already know all the local routes "like the back of your hand". If that is the case, why not visit some spots that can be reached by train, bus or bike (a great way to warm up!), or try out car-sharing? It's more fun, cheaper and a good way to get to know new fellow climbers.
But what if you have more exotic aspirations? While we admit that it is hardly ideal, you can always try to offset your carbon footprint. Numerous sites already exist for this purpose.

Applying a patch to a hole or some quick stitching can help to make your equipment last longer and reduce our carbon footprint.

We can also have our shoes repaired! This requires specialist know-how, so always call on a professional. You can leave your shoes in the workshop in your Decathlon store and they will be as good as new when you collect them! But they will already fit your feet. A great way to save money and to protect the planet too.

Let's go over the basics: there is nothing revolutionary about this advice, but when we leave a climbing spot, we take EVERYTHING with us, even leftovers from our meals. They can cause harm to the local wildlife, because our food is not adapted to meeting their needs. To avoid setting off with too much, take a water bottle and some snacks in reusable Tupperware containers. You can minimise waste by avoiding single-use plastic.

Leaving no traces behind you also involves brushing your holds, if you used chalk. This avoids marking and eroding the rock face, and allows the following climbers to find their own route! 
If you come across a nest on a rock face, you can report it on the Nest & Climb project website, which will then protect it.
Are there any rocks in the way, at the point where you want to climb? Don't touch them. They certainly provide shelter for numerous insects that could be crushed, deprived of their environment and even die. Similarly, always stay on the path that leads to your climbing spot! Doing so will avoid disturbing the fauna and damaging precious flora.
And when you rest in a bivouac, always leave the spot exactly as you found it.
