freeclimb9 Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 John Maher, Heritage Resources Program Manager in the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit of the Forest Service, has selected Alternative 6 from the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) issued in 2002. This "management policy prohibits the recreational activity of rock climbing as well as any new, non-historic activities that might be proposed at the site. All bolts and other climbing equipment that are technically feasible to remove will be removed." However, "other non-invasive recreation activities, consistent with the historic period (time immemorial through 1965) including, but not limited to, hiking, picnicking, stargazing, and fishing will be allowed to continue."

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 Quit whining. Activities participated in through 1965 includes soft iron piton-bashing, and siege-style ascents in wool knickers. You tradhounds should be dancing in the streets over this one! Quote
