Climbing Rangers Encourage Responsible Recreation at East Side Climbing/Bouldering AreasThe Eastern Sierra Interpretive Association (ESIA) has hired two climbing rangers to patrol the increasingly popular climbing and bouldering areas in the Bishop area. This is the third year of the program. The rangers will be focused on the Tablelands, Happys and Sads, the Buttermilks, Pine Creek, the Gorge and Upper Gorge, and the Druids. One the of main goals for the rangers is to provide education to climbers about where to park and camp, leave no trace principles, and climbing etiquette. Events like climber coffees will help develop a community forum for climbers in the area. The climbing rangers will also track visitor use patterns including documenting parking and camping uses and tracking changes. Click here for additional information.
