The National Park Service is taking public comments through March 10 on Director's Order 41, which governs how the agency manages wilderness areas within the 394 units of the National Park Service.
The order mandates "clean climbing" and Leave No Trace techniques, which encourage the use of temporary equipment and anchors that can be removed from rock faces without altering them.
At Rocky Mountain National Park, the order could mean the park might eventually implement a permitting system for the installation of fixed anchors within the park's 249,000 acres of designated wilderness, Chief Ranger Mark Magnuson said.
Sport climbing routes replete with bolted anchors are numerous, particularly on Lumpy Ridge and Longs Peak, but climbing bolts are widespread throughout the park.
