Two National Parks Issue Plans for Wilderness Climbing



 <http://www.accessfund.org/site/apps/nlnet/content2.aspx?c=tmL5KhNWLrH&b=5000939&ct=14575569> 

Last month, two National Park Service (NPS) units—Lake Mead National Recreation Area and Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks—issued Wilderness Management Plans that provide detailed guidelines for managing climbing in designated Wilderness, including fixed anchors, crowding, safety, and environmental impact. These are some of the first examples of parks putting the 2013 NPS national-level guidelines for climbing in wilderness <http://www.opengate.org/access-fund-blog/2013/07/what-the-new-nps-wilderness-climbing-policy-means-for-climbers-bolting.html>  into action, and are critically important because they will set a precedent for how other National Parks develop strategies for Wilderness climbing management. The Access Fund has been working with both Parks, advocating for climbers’ interests and a balanced approach to resource management. Overall, the latest plans are generally acceptable, but Access Fund will continue to work with both Parks on further improvements.
