Congress finds that— recreational climbing in wilderness areas on National Forest System land is being managed inconsistently; and recreational climbing is a legitimate and appropriate use of wilderness areas on National Forest System land if the recreational climbing is conducted and managed in accordance with— the Wilderness Act ( 16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq. ); other applicable laws (including regulations); and any reasonable terms and conditions that are determined to be necessary by the Secretary of Agriculture.
Not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Agriculture shall issue guidance on climbing management for National Forest System land, including the placement, maintenance, or removal of fixed anchors and the appropriate use of other equipment in designated wilderness areas on National Forest System land under the Wilderness Act ( 16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq. ). Prior to taking any significant management action affecting recreational climbing on National Forest System land, the Secretary of Agriculture shall provide the public with notice and an opportunity to comment on the proposed action.
