On December 6, 2017, Neil Bosworth (Responsible Official) and Deputy Regional Forester Jim Upchurch (Objection Reviewing Official) met with Mr. Gunn to explore opportunities to resolve the objection. Both parties acknowledged that they are likely looking for similar outcomes in the implementation of this plan. The parties agreed that the close coordination and communication between the Forest Service, affected tribes, and the climbing community during the implementation of this plan will help ensure it is executed in the clearest and most effective way possible.
