但考慮到攀巖所造成的環(huán)境破壞內(nèi)攀巖也許會帶來正面積極的效果對多數(shù)熱愛室內(nèi)攀巖尚自然以及她所賦的威嚴(yán)挑戰(zhàn)的攀巖者而言是諷刺的是在他們力求達(dá)到攀巖目標(biāo)的同時確不可避地踩踏敏感植被壞長在壁架和崖面上的脆弱植物群和地衣，擾亂它們的生長。來自加拿大一所大學(xué)的兩名研究者道格·拉爾森，米歇爾·麥美倫發(fā)現(xiàn)常被攀爬的巖面會喪失超過百分之八十的本土植物覆蓋面和植物多樣性糕是，非本土植物會附在攀巖者的靴子上從而被無心的引進(jìn)。GThisleavesrockclimbingwithanuncertainfuture.Climbersareonlyusergroupthatwishestoenjoywilderness-hikers,mountainbikersandhorsebackridersvisitthesameareas,andmoreimportantly,theyarebetterorganised,withlong-establishedlobbygroupsprotectingtheirinterests.Withincreasedpressureonlimitednaturalresources,ithasbeensuggestedthatclimberstheirdifferencesovertheethicsvariousclimbingtechniques,andfocusoneffectoftheirpracticesontheenvironmentandrelationshipwithotherusersandlandowners.這使攀巖運動前途未卜山者并不是唯一想要享受荒野樂趣的團(tuán)體——徒步跋涉者地自行車騎行者馬騎行者都造著同一年土地更為重要的是他組織的更加完善，有成立多年的游說團(tuán)體維護(hù)他們的利益限自然資源帶來的壓力日益增加人議攀巖團(tuán)體放下對使用攀巖工具的成見他們的行為
