HB 1195-S - DIGEST
Finds that it is important to the promotion of rock climbing
opportunities to specifically include rock climbing as one of the
recreational activities that are included in RCW 4.24.210. By
including rock climbing in RCW 4.24.210, the legislature intends merely to provide assurance to the owners of property suitable for this type of recreation, and does not intend to limit the application of RCW 4.24.210 to other types of recreation.
Declares that, by providing that a landowner shall not be
liable for any unintentional injuries resulting from the condition
or use of a fixed anchor used in rock climbing, the legislature
recognizes that such fixed anchors are recreational equipment used by climbers for which a landowner has no duty of care.
