MOUNTAINEERS: Climbing areas in good hands

Old climbers don’t die. They just fade ... away. 

But before we go, I would like to congratulate the Spokane Mountaineers for their noble and generous commitment to maintain the climbing areas of The Community Forest of Post Falls.

This blossoming jewel will be in good hands with the mountaineers whose many members from North Idaho have been a constant in the preservation of Inland Northwest nature since 1915.
