Access Issue: October 8-9 LTW limited access.
Details
From the WA Climbers' Coalition:
There will be limited access to the Lower Town Wall on October 8 & 9.
Clearing work for the new vault toilet will begin. The first part of the trail will be widened (within the railroad right-of-way) into a short gravel road, which we need to install and service the toilet.
In addition-
Some trees deemed hazardous will be removed at the base of the Lower Town Wall, especially around the Great Northern Slab, the Sonic Reducer/Terminal Preppie ledge, and Rogers Corner. A hired arborist determined we have nine “hazard trees” many of which are dead or decaying, which we identified for removal in a Critical Areas Report to the County. To improve future safety at the Lower Town Wall, we want to remove these trees now, before we turn our property over to Washington State Parks.
All other areas at Index will not be affected.

Getting There
From the Lower Wall parking, follow the train tracks to the Country area. Walk to the far right of the clearing, near the start of GM (there may be a notice board up) and follow the obvious path uphill. After 10min you will come to a fork. The left fork leads to Blues Cliff and Middle Walls. Follow the right fork. After 3-5 more min you will come to a second fork. The left fork leads to the Upper Wall summit (also Little Elvis and Pajama Rock). In 8-10 more min you will be at the base of the Upper Wall. Cross the talus right and continue on the trail until it forks just before dropping downhill steeply. Take the left fork leading up hill toward the cliff.
