Washington state has passed a new bill, which the governor just
signed, that limits the liability of landowners for rock climbing
accidents that occur on their land. Go to www.leg.wa.gov for the
actual text of HB 1195.
HB 1195-S - DIGEST
Finds that it is important to the promotion of rock climbing
opportunities to specifically include rock climbing as one of the
recreational activities that are included in RCW 4.24.210. By
including rock climbing in RCW 4.24.210, the legislature intends
merely to provide assurance to the owners of property suitable for
this type of recreation, and does not intend to limit the
application of RCW 4.24.210 to other types of recreation.
Declares that, by providing that a landowner shall not be
liable for any unintentional injuries resulting from the condition
or use of a fixed anchor used in rock climbing, the legislature
recognizes that such fixed anchors are recreational equipment used
by climbers for which a landowner has no duty of care.
