Howdy! I sent out the first issue of ClimbMail tonight. If you haven't signed up yet, you can do so via our main page. I have decided to post this first version so you can see what you missed. Please let me know if you have any other ideas on what to put in ClimbMail.

Hello All, and welcome to the first issue of cascadeclimbers.com

On to the news....

PIERCE COUNTY EXAMINER ISSUES PERMIT FOR MT RAINIER RESORT

As posted on the cascadeclimbers forum, Pierce County officials granted a

private company a permit to build a large resort just outside of the

Paradise entrance to Mt. Rainier. Please take time to write your State

Representatives and Senators to help stop this before it happens. For

more information and the complete story view the following thread: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000014.html

NEED HELP WITH OFF-SEASON TRAINING IDEAS?

How should climbers maintain their summer level of fitness to prevent

having to start all over again in the spring? This compilation is the

first of a series of Body Results newsletter articles that will provide

you with some varied, challenging, and effective off-season workouts.

Check out Part I at the following location: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/fitness/fitness.htm

PROTECT THE FRENCHMAN COULEE (FC)

Over the past few years, the FC has become a popular climbing area for

much of the Pacific Northwest, due to dry and stable weather, easy access,

and to the publication of several guidebooks. The area has a very active

first ascent community; many new routes are still being developed and

hundreds of new routes are possible. The potential for adverse impacts to

the area has increased due to the popularity of the FC by both climbers

and other users, and due to the continued development of new routes. Learn

about the Frenchman Coulee Climbers Association, and how you can help

preserve this NW climbing gem at: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/access/access.htm
