Without members and donors like you, we would fall short F of accomplishing our goals. I recently came across some interesting statistics in the Outdoor Foundation’s annual Outdoor Recreation Participation Report. In 2008, 4.7 million people in the United States participated in bouldering, sport climbing, or indoor climbing, and 2.3 million people went trad climbing, ice climbing, or mountaineering. It is also interesting to note that less than 1% of these climbers are members of the Access Fund. And the majority of our support comes from membership. We are working on climbing issues all across the country, from California to Maine. While we have had many successes and our reach is broad, just imagine what would be possible if we were able to increase our membership base: more grants, more direct support of local climbing organizations, and, ultimately, more climbing areas open and protected. We could use your help. Chances are a number of your climbing friends and partners aren’t current Access Fund members. Please take a moment to tell them about our work and the impor- tance of joining us, not to mention benefits like discounts on gear, grants for local projects, timely information and alerts about local access issues, and a subscrip- tion to the Vertical Times.

  • Gold Creek Habitat Memo
    Stream & Riparian P.O. Box 15609 Resource Management Seattle, WA 98115 November 5, 2013 Kittitas Conservation Trust 205 Alaska Ave Roslyn, WA 98941-0428 Attention: Mitch Long, Project Manager David Gerth, Executive Director Subject: Gold Creek Habitat Assessment Memo PROJECT BACKGROUND The Kittitas Conservation Trust (KCT) has identified the lower 6.8 miles (mi) of Gold Creek above Keechelus Lake near Snoqualmie Pass as a candidate location for habitat restoration. The primary objectives of the Gold Creek Restoration Project (Project) are to restore perennial flow through the lower 6.8 mi of Gold Creek, and improve instream habitat for threatened Gold Creek Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus). The hydrologic, hydraulic, and geomorphic conditions within the project reach will be assessed to determine the causal mechanisms contributing to seasonal dewatering, and the associated impacts to Gold Creek Bull Trout. These findings will be used to develop conceptual designs that meet the primary objectives of the Project by restoring natural geomorphic processes. Existing information relevant to the Project has been reviewed and compiled to guide the assessments and conceptual design development. This information has been synthesized to describe the existing knowledge base related to the Project, and to identify key data gaps that need to be resolved to meet the objectives of the Project (NSD 2013). This technical memo describes the current hydrologic and hydraulic conditions within the Project reach, and how they contribute to seasonal dewatering in Gold Creek. PROJECT REACH Gold Creek drains a 14.3 mi2 (9,122 acre) watershed in the Cascade Mountain range, flowing for approximately 8 miles before entering Keechelus Lake near Interstate 90 (Craig 1997, Wissmar & Craig 2004, USFS 1998).

  • AVALANCHE! Yell It Out! by Dave Galvin
    AVALANCHE! Yell it out! by Dave Galvin We live and recreate in the corner of the globe (do globes really have corners?) with the largest snowfall on record (world record is held by Mt. Baker Ski Area @1,140 inches or 95 feet in 1998‐‘99, followed by Mt. Rainier ‐ Paradise@1,120 inches or 93 feet in 1971‐’72). Such snow accumulation, especially in big dumps such as happened over the weekend of February 17‐19, 2012, often leads to snow sliding downhill unexpectedly. With often deadly results. Avalanche photo from Wikipedia. Lawine.jpg @ Click on this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lawine.jpg . Big Avalanches - YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0RWLxOFGLY ► 1:54► 1:54 and watch the 2‐minute clip. Turn off the annoying music that accompanies the hair‐raising video (the music implies a “yee‐ha, ride‐‘em” attitude that is disrespectful of those who have died). If your palms don’t sweat by the ending, you don’t have a pulse. Note one thing in the film clip above: how fast that snow was moving. You cannot out‐ski or out‐board the downhill momentum of an avalanche – one’s only hope, once caught, is to get off to the side, or to ride it out while staying near the surface and hope you have helpers nearby. The goal is to not get caught. More about hope below. An avalanche is “a sudden, drastic flow of snow down a slope, occurring when either natural triggers, such as loading from new snow or rain, or artificial triggers, such as snowmobilers, explosives or backcountry skiers, overload the snowpack.”1 Here in the Northwest, we typically have what are called “slab avalanches,” which react to a stress point and result in a whole section of snow (a slab) to break free and start to move downhill.

  • Washington Alpine Club
    Sahalie Historical Note # 9: Our Neighbors, Washington Alpine Club Right across the road from Sahalie Ski Club is a neighbor organization with a history as long and colorful as our own ‐‐actually even more so on both counts. The Washington Alpine Club was formed in 1916 by a remarkable early character in the outdoor Northwest: Anna Louise Strong. Anna Louise arrived in Seattle that year, a 30‐year‐old Ph.D., author, outdoor enthusiast and radical. She must have been somewhat intimidating ‐‐ a whirlwind in the young pioneer city of Seattle. She immediately organized five summer camping expeditions to Mt. Rainier, each with 40 to 50 participants. This group, known as the Cooperative Campers, formed the origins of the Washington Alpine Club.1 Anna Louise is credited with the first winter ascent of Mt. Hood, and served as a guide (the first female?) on Mt. Rainier. She was elected to the Seattle School Board, joined the Wobblies as a socialist sympathizer, and editorialized in support of the 1919 general strike. She eventually became so radicalized that she moved first to the Soviet Union and then to China, where she hobnobbed Anna Louise Strong c. 1913 (photo from with Mao and was buried with state honors in Beijing when U.W. Special Collections, #UW340) she died there in 1970.2 3 Quite the character, indeed! Her later exploits were so off the charts that “her name was an anathema to many [Washington Alpine] Club members.”4 The Cooperative Campers persisted after the founding whirlwind moved on. Renamed the Washington Alpine Club in 1927, it branched out into promotion of hiking, climbing, skiing and all‐things‐backcountry.
