In October of last year Alex and I ventured out to the Index climbing wall. At that time, there was speculation that the area would be sold for use as a quarry. There is now happy news that the through the fundraising efforts of the Washington Climbers Coalition the wall has been saved! The WCC hopes to make further improvements to the area and in the future to donate the 20-acres to the Washington State Parks Association.
Ah good for them. Now of course I feel bad for never giving them any money even though I don’t climb there.
