Description

Rock climbers are one of the few people interacting with an otherwise remote environment. While a few climbers won’t drastically affect the landscape, the growing popularity of the sport means it is more important than ever to spread awareness on how climbers can impact the ecosystem they interact with. 

Legendary rock climber Hazel Findlay joined us to reflect on sustainable climbing practices and what her own experiences have taught her. We also chat with Mossy Earth conservation biologist and fellow climber, Tiago de Zoeten, to understand the extent of the climbing's impact and what can be done to reduce it.
