Climbing Guidelines
Available for Final Review
Since July 2005, Jefferson County Open Space has convened a Climbing Task Force to develop a climbing management guide for Jefferson County Open Space lands. The Climbing Task Force included representatives from Jefferson County Open Space staff, the Access Fund, American Mountain Guides Association, The American Alpine Club, Colorado Division of Wildlife, and Colorado Mountain Club.
The resulting document was created to recognize rock climbing as a valid recreational use of Open Space lands and to provide guidelines for climbing management on all existing and future Jefferson County Open Space lands. From the guidelines and management actions set forth, site-specific climbing management plans will be created as a component of individual Park Management Plans within the Jefferson County Open Space system.
