Anthro, here's a thought on how climbers interact with environment.
As you know in climbing as much as possible we try to enter, interact and leave the place as we found it.
In other sports the first thing they do is remove any trace of what was there before they can even begin their sport.
Think football, tennis, swimming, etc.
Every part of what made up the environment must be completely removed and reordered before the activity can start.
It's a fundamental difference. |
