Fixed Anchors in the Wilderness

Conclusions

The Center will continue to monitor the negotiated rulemaking process for a final policy on fixed anchors in the wilderness. When a final policy or specific climbing plan requires removing fixed anchors or climbing gear (such as slings and runners), the center can ask industry and designers to provide needed devices.
