matt_m Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 So what the story on that area - I was flipping through the guide book (The need for warm rock has returned) and noticed this section I'd never seen before... I get there was some bolt issues, controversy etc and access was lost (in 2001?) What was the story there? Anything new? I've climbed several of the developers routes and thought they were almost all excellent. Long climbs in Vantage this time of year sounds great. If this is a "hot topic" I'll gladly delete - just PM me. M Quote
Tony_Bentley Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 It is indeed. Check the archives and also the info should be available on the WCC website. You were tresspassing. If people can stay away, it might help with the chances of gaining back the access in the furture. Breaking the law only lesses the chances of access. Good routes over there though. Quote

Whoa - Never WENT over there so easy on the trespassing call. I've climbed the developers routes in OTHER areas, not Vantage. Deep breath - I know all about being conscious of access issues. Quote

mattp Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Tempers flared over Winter Walk Wall a few years ago, but I have not heard anything about it recently. http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/s...e=9&fpart=1 (Old CC.COM thread) http://www.washingtonclimbers.org/Forums/showthread.php?p=791#post791 (WCC notice) kdwight[at]wonders.eburg.wednet.edu (Frenchman Coulee Climbers Coalition contact, possibly out of date.)
