In September we told you about potential drastic fee increases to climb
Denali and Rainier. Since that time, the Access Fund has been working with
partners American Mountain Guides Association and American Alpine Club to
get a public process put in place to evaluate the current mountaineering
programs and associated budgets to identify the best way to service
climbers-and the appropriate fee levels. Both parks agreed to a public
process and have announced a series of public meetings to discuss their
mountaineering programs. These meetings will provide climbers the
opportunity to understand aspects of the current climbing programs at Denali
and Rainier and help the parks identify viable options for designing the
programs and how to pay for them. Climbers are encouraged to attend.

Mount Rainier National Park will host public meetings at the following
locations in late November and December:

Tuesday, November 30, 2010, 7-9 PM
Mountaineers Building
2302 N. 30th St.
Tacoma, WA 98403-3323

Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 7-9 PM

Denali National Park will host public meetings on their mountaineering and
cost recovery program in Talkeetna and Anchorage in December and in Seattle
and Denver early in January 2011. Dates and specific meeting locations will
be announced in the near future on the Denali's website at www.nps.gov/dena,
or contact either Chief Park Ranger Peter Armington at (907.683.9521) or
Public Affairs Officer Kris Fister (907.683.9583) for more information.

The public comment period for both Denali and Rainier started on November 1,
2010 and will continue through January 31, 2011. Email or write each park
