Williamson Rock, CA Closure Update
Troy Mayr, Friends of Williamson Rock
On May 8, 2006, Friends of Williamson Rock (FoWR) met with Angeles National Forest employees, during which time discussions were held regarding the current status of Williamson Rock (W.R.), as well as the regulatory issues surrounding re-opening of W.R. This meeting served to supplement a proposal submitted in January, 2006 by FoWR, which outlined the intentions of FoWR. This also supplemented communications made between FoWR and USFS staff, in addition to the results of the field meeting held on December 13, 2005. This coordination has proved beneficial to relations between climbers and regulatory agencies. However, the process required to facilitate the re-opening of W.R. will be lengthy, requiring full closure at least until next summer. Please check out a summary of the current situation at http://williamsonrock.org/blog/. FoWR is working to increase awareness among climbers of the situation and would like to stress the importance of maintaining cooperative relations with the U.S. Forest Service as well as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
