ETHICS IN CLIMBING

If you are offended by the truth, then this is not the page for you.

The HPSC is a group of INDIVIDUALS who believe that bolts should not be placed in the proximity of good gear.  Climbing is both a mental and physical challenge.  The rock should be respected and not desecrated for the sake of boosting one's ego.

One thing that has been destructive to climbing is the promotion of the "climbing community" concept.  This notion is intangible. Those who use it have verbally conscripted anyone owning climbing shoes to "the community" and claim to speak your behalf.

"You can choose a ready guide in some" community's "voice."
