1. Respond as soon as you can.
2. Invitations are not transitive, unless mentioned otherwise.
3. Don’t say ‘yes’ to climbs that you’re not prepared for.
4. Try not to be a burden. Make sure to follow the LNT principles.
5. Don’t take the lead, unless you’re asked to.
6. Ask permission, but a “Yes” does not necessarily mean that the host approves.
7. Be sociable and friendly.
8. Be honest if the situation calls for it.
9. What happens on a climb stays among the climb participants.
10. Share your trail food.
