-
Tread lightly and avoid fragile vegetation at the base and top of
cliffs. Once vegetation is removed erosion sets in and the resulting
soil loss could mean that revegetation is not possible.
-
Avoid removing vegetation from cracks and ledges when climbing,
or developing new climbs.
-
Where possible on approaches to the bottom, and from the top of
climbs, keep to rocks, hard ground and established tracks.
-
Avoid revegetation / regeneration areas until signs have been officially
removed and the area has recovered.
-
Carry all rubbish out with you.
-
Practice minimum impact toileting by going well away (more than
50m) from tracks and creeks and digging a deep hole to bury all human
waste matter, toilet paper and tissues; or use a 'poop tube' to carry
it out with you.
-
To avoid trampling cliff top vegetation where possible use 'lower
offs' to return to the base of climbs.
-
Minimise chalk usage. Chalk is unsightly; think before you dip!
Consider using appropriately coloured chalk.
-
Bolting new routes is forbidden in the Glasshouse Mountains. Rangers
have the right to confiscate drills, and hand out fines.
-
Don't mark the start of routes. A good guide combined with good
route-finding skills makes marking routes unnecessary.
-
Chipping or enhancing of holds is unacceptable.
-
Always comply with the regulations attached to particular areas.
-
Respect the Aboriginal and European cultural heritage which exists
in these areas.
