[MCR] Whiteman Falls and Red Man Soars Guiding Permission

About a month ago, D.Stark raised the question of not having guiding permission into Whiteman Falls and Red Man Soars. This issue is seen on the permit to Yamnuska Mountain School and may be the same on your permit as well. This issue was brought up for discussion at the Manager/Team Leader meeting late last week. The discussion concluded that Guides are able to guide clients into those climbs without any enforcement repercussions. There will be a re-write of that portion of the permit issued by Kananaskis Country for those climbs in the future. At present there will be no enforcement action taken against guides that wish to work those climbs, even though the present permit indicates they are not able to guide those climbs.

Thanks Dave for bringing the question forward.
