A strict policy of "no trace" camping, as epitomised by the Sierra Club motto of "take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints". Here are some tips to enable you to help us keep the mountain clean ...
All rubbish is carried off the mountain, even vegetable peelings
When between camps please carry your daily personal rubbish to the next camp
Toilets are long drop.
Please use toilets wherever possible to avoid spoiling the campsites
If no toilet is available during the walk, go "behind a bush" and dig a hole with your heel
Bury or burn the paper afterwards using the matches.
Avoid polluting streams at camps, especially with toilet waste and washing water.
Big temptation when very tired on the summit day to simply throw away rubbish or plastic waterbottles.
Please carry down.
After your climb, spread the word about our ethical approach on the mountain
That is the best way you can put something back in.
