not sure if its up to date...this is just what I got a message about.

I am not sure if there was already a post about this or not (these forms are not really my thing)but I have a passion for the valley. I just got news that there may be some access issues for climbers in the valley. This issue needs to be addressed by Feb. 4 Just go to the access fund website and search "protect climbing access in yosemite" it should pop up....sign the petition and hop all goes well. Access fund has the following post: We need your help to influence the latest Merced River Plan, which could restrict climbing access and camping in Yosemite Valley, depending on how the Park prepares its new revised user capacity program. At issue is access to iconic climbs including those found on The Rostrum, Cookie Cliff, and Middle Cathedral Rock (everything ¼ mile on either side of the river). This plan will also affect all travel through the management area to locations just outside the river corridor, which brings into play all climbing in Yosemite Valley including El Capitan and even Half Dome. Another consequence of this litigation is the increased likelihood that camping will become even more scarce while the number of lodging units remains largely unchanged. Please write Yosemite National Park by February 4 and support the preservation of climbing access in the Valley!
