Big changes for access, parking , hiking and climbing rules. Look into the most recent changes for SLO area climbing and hiking before your journey up there. Things change and may be different by the time you get up there. Many quality climbs that had old bolts have been replaced and the safety factor has gone way up. Enjoy and see you on the rocks. |

Here's what was posted on the SLO-Op website on July 8th. |

Don't like that the city will designate approved climbing areas, potentially close some climbing areas, and that they will have a "climbing committee." Typical government over-regulation for problems that don't exist. |
|
The changes reflect what happens to many places with fast growing populations ie. over regulation. Once these regulations are enacted it is just about game over for the "old days" of hiking and climbing on BP. The actual problems rarely get alleviated and only get more convoluted...time and time again. I have LITERALLY spent my entire life on the Seven Sisters and have been climbing on them since the early 1980s and have watched the changes occur. My family has been in SLO since the mid 1800s and it is much much different and there is only more of this kind of regulation to look forward to. I am sad for our town , for our way of life for all who will never know what it was like...."BEFORE." |

I went through the entire document and this is all that I could find that pertained to climbing in the plans. |
|
I see a part mentioning a waiver to climb. |
|
There's no waivers required currently. It looks like the restrictions give the Parks and Rec director the ability to enforce waivers. |

Something to take a look at: I started a different thread about some things I witnessed at Cracked Wall yesterday. |
