Wild Sky Wilderness Act

[cman]

The Wild Sky Wilderness Act had been proposed to turn areas near Index and Gold Bar into wilderness areas. Also Mt Baring would be included in the wilderness.

I am interested in the developing climbing areas near gold bar, the bouldering and Zeke's wall. from the map i cannot tell wether these areas would be included in the wilderness proposal. Also if they are what impact would it have on the development of these climbing and bouldering areas, including Mt Baring.

 

Thanks

If they fall within the wilderness area, that means there is not supposed to be any fixed gear or the use of power drills. This doesn't stop everyone from doing so, however.

Grid bolt it all now, then put in the routes. That way you're covered.

For bouldering about all you need is some scrubbing. That probably isn't even mentioned in the statute. Besides, you can't "unscrub" a route once it has been cleaned .

no index state park is not part of the wilderness area

if it goes a few years without being climbed, it unscrubs itself pretty damn good.
