Hi! I'm currently working towards a master's degree in environmental studies and resource management. As a climber, I tend to focus a lot of my studies on mitigating the negative environmental impacts of access, and how it's impossible for humans to truly "Leave No Trace" in the wilderness (e.g. simply hiking along a path in the woods causes habitat fragmentation and trail erosion). I was wondering if the impact of access is something that is often discussed among professional outdoor athletes, and if so, what issues are normally brought up?
