Mt. Erie Falcon Closure
The Department of Fish and Wildlife has asked the City of Anacortes to protect a falcon nest on Skyline Rib or Skyline Arete. There may be signs indicating a closure; meanwile please climb elsewhere if the falcons demonstrate defensive or territorial behavior.
The City contacted us 5/15/08. We'll add more information when we receive it.

Welcome
to the Washington Climbers Coalition
Washington's climbing is remarkably diverse. There are 5.14s at Little
Si, V11s at Gold Bar, and classic moderates at Leavenworth. There's granite at Index, gneiss at Newhalem, andesite
in the Tieton, and limestone in the Northeast. You can wrestle a ten-foot boulder at Minnehaha and pad up a 20-pitch
slab at Darrington. You can start a climbing day enveloped in the lush heart of a rain forest and end it basking
in the open vista of a sagebrush desert.
Nearly everywhere we climb, though, we're guests on someone's land. Even if it's public land, we don't control
it. We need to work together to make sure we can keep on climbing, both now and in the future. The WCC's goal is
to keep Washington climbing vibrant by working with land managers and property owners on climbing issues, educating
climbers about legal, environmental and resource concerns, and promoting climber stewardship of our cliffs and
boulders.
This site has information about the issues we're working on; information on Washington climbing areas; background
on the WCC; and other resources for climbers. We hope you'll join us and help!
