7 SUREFIRE WAYS TO LOSE CLIMBING ACCESS
7种让岩场关闭的最好方法

After 20-plus years of working to protect climbing access, the Access Fund has seen nearly every scenario for how to lose access to our precious crags and boulder fields. Some of those situations are beyond the control of the average climber. But the majority of access issues can be averted if climbers avoid some common pitfalls. 在为保护岩场开放持续工作20多年后, 岩场开放基金(the Access Fund美国一个保护岩场开放的基金)已经见证了几乎每一种失去我们珍贵的岩场和抱石地的情况。有些情况超出了大多数攀岩者的能力控制,但是大多数问题是可以避免的,如果攀岩者避免一些常犯的错误的话。
1. Disrespecting the climbing environment. When you litter, trample vegetation, leave tick marks, cut trail, improperly dispose of human waste, or stash pads, you are damaging the climbing environment. Every climbing area has a threshold, and it’s only a matter of time before unmitigated impacts cause a landowner to shut it down.
不尊重攀登环境:当你随意扔垃圾,踩踏植被,在岩壁上涂画,开路,随地大小便或摆放抱石垫,你已经在破坏当地的攀登环境。每个岩场都有一个环境临界值,在土地拥有者因为环境被破坏而关闭岩场之前,这只是时间的问题。
2. Overcrowding. An overcrowded climbing area has a huge impact on the environment (trampled vegetation, unacceptable noise levels, etc), but it’s also a red flag to a land manager that impacts may be teetering on the line of unacceptable. If you get to a climbing area and the parking lot is jam packed, consider finding another, less crowded place to climb.
过度拥挤:过度拥挤的岩场对环境带来相当大的冲击(过度踩踏的植被,不可接受的噪音度等),但是这对土地的管理者也是一个危险的信号,这种环境影响可能已经快触及不可接受的底线了。如果你到了一个岩场发现停车场已经爆满,应该考虑去另外一个人少的岩场攀岩。
3. Accidents. Whenever a climber gets hurt, a landowner gets nervous. Every landowner, both public and private, is concerned about liability on some level. Unfortunately, accidents do happen. The best way to avoid them is to be prepared, don’t take unnecessary risks, and be safe. And if you’re a beginner, don’t go outside without a mentor to teach you properly.
意外事故:任何时候攀岩者受伤,土地拥有者都会紧张。不管是公共的,还是私人的土地拥有者都会被认为在某些方面有责任问题。不幸的是,事故确实时而发生。最好的避免方法是时刻做好准备,不要冒不必要的风险,注意安全。如果你是初学者,不要在没有经验丰富的老手指导下到野外攀岩。
4. Disrespecting the landowner. It doesn’t matter if you’re climbing on private land or public land, when you see a ranger or a landowner, remember that you’re on THEIR turf, and you represent the climbing community at large. A bad impression goes a long way and puts climbers in a negative light. So smile, say “thank you,” and follow their rules.
不尊重土地拥有者:不管是你在私有土地,还是公共土地上攀岩,当你看到管理员或拥有者时,请记住你是在他们的地盘上,而且你代表着整个攀岩团体。坏的印象会持续很长时间,并把攀岩者置于负面的境地。因此,请对他们微笑,说声“谢谢”并遵守他们的规则。
5. Not respecting closures. Many climbing areas have seasonal or permanent closure areas to protect nesting raptors, cultural resources like petroglyphs and sacred sites or sensitive plant life. Respect those closures and stay away from sensitive resources, or risk losing access to the rest of the climbs.
不尊重关闭区域:很多岩场有季节性或永久的关闭区域来保护禽鸟筑巢期,文化资源,如岩石壁画和宗教圣地,或敏感的脆弱植物。请尊重这些关闭区域并远离敏感的资源,否则你是在冒着失去其他可以攀爬区域的风险。
6. Bolting inappropriately. Most public and private landowners have regulations about where and how you can install bolts. For instance, it’s illegal to use a power drill in a designated wilderness area. Know the rules and ethics at the area before you bolt.
不适当的挂片:大多数公共或私人土地拥有者都有规定哪里可以和如何打挂片。 比如,在指定的野外区域不能使用电钻。打挂片前,请先了解当地的法律和道德规范。
7. Failing to organize. When climbers come together, we keep more climbing areas open. Access Fund relies on local climbing organizations to be the first line of defense when access issues occur. When locals form an organized group, it’s easier to partner with landowners, have political clout with town and state governments, and get resources to care for your climbing areas.
糟糕的组织:当攀岩者团结一致时,我们可以让更多的岩场保持开放。当岩场纠纷产生时,岩场开放基金依靠当地的攀岩组织作为第一防线。当本地的攀岩者很好地组织成团体时,往往更容易和土地拥有者展开合作,对市和州政府产生政治影响,并获得保护岩场的资源。 |
