In 2020, after climbing the tradroute ‘Prinzip Hoffnung’ by public transport, Lena Müller had the idea to give this sustainable approach to climbing a name. The reason being that language shapes our thoughts and cultures – including our climbing culture. Hence creating new terms could support our actions, such as our approach to climbing. She suggested the term greenpoint, not being aware that the term already existed. Together with Sofie Paulus they now want to introduce this concept under the name ecopoint to raise awareness and promote sustainable climbing.

MISSION & FOUNDER
The mission of Ecopoint is to promote and enhance sustainable mobility in climbing by providing a freely accessible community platform, where climbers can inform and inspire each other to climb more sustainably. Read more here about how to contribute your ecopoint knowledge.
The concept was founded by the non-profit association IG Klettern und Bergsport Allgäu e. V., whose aim is to promote and preserve climbing and mountaineering as sustainable sport in the Allgäu Alps. The idea and the realisation came from Lena Müller.
