  • Recognise the setting in which culture actually occurs — Read pillars, joints, weathering hollows and changing scale without climbing closed rock formations.
  • Participate only where the setting clearly allows it — Follow same-day transport, sector and one-way path notices, and accept closures during high wind, storms or ice.
  • Separate residents’ lives, ritual and performance — Do not carve rock, build cairns or enter fenced grassland. Seek permission before photographing herders or livestock.
