The UIAA General Assembly on Saturday approved a code to serve as a beacon of mountaineering values, spelling out ethics of sportsmanship, respect for cultures and care for the environment.
The assembly named the document the UIAA Mountain Ethics Declaration. The governing body met for its annual gathering October 8-11 in Porto, Portugal.
Doug Scott, the famed British mountaineer who achieved the seven summits, worked diligently on the document. He hopes it will guide alpinists well.
“The Mountain Ethics Declaration, the updated statement on best practices in mountaineering, is very timely,” Scott said, “especially to help those climbers in areas where there is no strong consensus of opinion as to the best way forward.”
The declaration addresses mountaineering issues such as the responsibility to assist others in need, the factual reporting of ascents and the use of supplementary oxygen in high altitude climbs.
It also has a rich history:
The document builds upon work of American climbers and the UIAA Mountaineering Commission, called the Mountain Code. That code was updated and approved at an international meeting of leading climbers in Innsbruck, Austria in 2002. The resulting document from that gathering was called the Tyrol Declaration.
