Stacia Glenn: Can climbing be done safely during COVID? WA to find out with reopening of indoor gyms
News Tribune, Tacoma, Wash. 1/12/2021 Stacia Glenn, The News Tribune (Tacoma, Wash.)
Jan. 12 Indoor climbing gyms reopened across the state Monday with a new label: low-risk.
It s a designation the recently formed Washington Indoor Climbing Coalition has been pushing for since November when Gov. Jay Inslee imposed new public health restrictions to combat a third wave of COVID-19.
Last week, Inslee announced his Healthy Washington Roadmap to Recover plan, which bumped indoor climbing into the low-risk sport category, updated restrictions and provided guidelines for a regional approach to reopening all businesses.
