Climbing resource database being complied by SAS

[smallman]

Route Developers and scrubbers of all sorts (climbers and boulderers). SAS is in the process of developing a spatial database of climbing resources in the Sea to Sky corridor for resource professionals to use in their planning process to mitigate impacts to climbing areas and trails. The huge expansion of route development especially in areas outside the parks has potential to be severely impacted by ongoing logging and other activities. Having land managers knowledgeable about the scale of our presence in their tenures will assist in their planning, their consultation with climbing stakeholder groups and help reduce future conflicts and reactionary responses. Bouldering areas, which have a larger areal footprint, are potentially at higher risk to resource management activities. If you have been developing new areas, we would like to hear about them. We especially need Google map or GPS co-ordinates for these new areas.
