What are the general climbing ethics?
Ethics will often vary from crag to crag. As a general rule, climbing around or above any tourist areas is not allowed and please stay off crags where climbing has been banned. Heed the advice of park rangers and landowners. Regarding protection, natural pro is used wherever it exists, and some crags have a no-bolting ethic. There are no sport specific crags in Central Australia. It is important to the local climbing community that you don’t cause any trouble, as this climbing is all they have, and any attention drawn to careless or senseless climbers could result in closures.
