Rock climbing joins safety and liability rules

Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming includes rock climbing under its Recreation Safety Act and recreation-related landowner liability rules. These existing rules now cover climbers and owners whose land is used for rock climbing. Related parking and access on private land remain covered by the Recreation Safety Act's definition. Skiing in a ski area remains excluded from that definition.
