A Plan for the Buttermilks Human Waste Issue
https://www.kintera.com/accounttempfiles/account401621/images/buttermilks.jp
gOn November 7 and 8, the Friends of Inyo hosted an Access Fund supported
Adopt a Crag event at the Buttermilks that drew almost 70 volunteers. The
event was followed by an American Alpine Club hosted slideshow presented by
Doug Robinson, which raised $2,000 for the construction and long-term
maintenance of a new pit toilet. The vast number of climbers visiting each
year has led to growing environmental damage at the site due to lack of
adequate facilities and the improper disposal of human waste. The Access
Fund's Grassroots Coordinator, Amy Ansari, and Regional Coordinator for the
area, Jim Pinter-Lucke, met with locals and USFS officials to work out a
plan of action to address the issue by next fall. In the meantime, the best
ways for climbers to help is to plan ahead when they are going to the
Buttermilks. Take RESTOP/Wag Bags, disperse campsites to reduce the
concentration of impact in one area (or stay at a campground), and stay
informed.
