Access Palisades Interstate Park Currently, technical rock climbing is not a permitted activity at one of the most convenient, largest and most significant climbing resources in the New York City and New Jersey Metropolitan Area . We plan to achieve a change in the Palisades Interstate Park's current policy as many local organizations and individuals would benefit from the increased recreational and training opportunities. The environment would receive a significant benefit by reducing the travel time required to reach a world class climbing area and through utilization of the public transportation system that currently services the site rather than the private transportation necessary to reach the climbing destinations currently available. A blog detailing our activities has been created at https://accesspip.tripod.com/blog to provide the climbing community, media and the public with information regarding the effort and to facilitate feedback from all interested parties. We believe that Traditional Clean Climbing on the Palisades would be an excellent use of the park's resources and be in keeping with the Park's founding intention of providing increased access and recreational opportunity to the public. |
