Welcome to Summit 105


Local climbers and hill walkers improving the places we use and enjoy is an important part of both retaining access and ensuring we are seen in our actions to be actively working to sustain and improve the outdoor environment. I know Dave and the team are keen to really develop and support this in 2022 and it’s great that Gekco is supporting this too.

More widely the International Committee is looking at how the impact of expeditions can be managed. The BMC Liftshare site gives members the opportunity to reduce car miles and BMC is going to continue using video conferencing, where appropriate, to again reduce the miles we all drive.


The outdoor environment is increasingly under pressure from what we do, and don’t do. I hope that in 2022 we can really step up our work so that we better balance the enjoyment and the impact of climbing and hillwalking for everyone and for the planet.

he other day I spent a wet and chilly morning with other volunteers clearing up Baildon Bank. Despite the weather, we all had fun and reopened a number of routes and boulders, as well as clearing a large amount of litter; so the land owners are also pleased.
