- FLORENCE COPPER PROJECT -
The Florence Copper
Project has proposed an amendment to the Town of Florence General Plan
to operate a copper mine five miles from the Anthem at Merrill Ranch
Community. Last month, many Anthem residents came to an open house held
by the Florence Copper Project (HDI Curis) with great
questions and concerns about the project. There are a couple more key
dates
coming up that are important to the general plan amendment process that
the Florence
Copper Project is going through that you should be aware of.

Rock Wall Rules
1) Climbers must fit into the harness safely/properly before they may climb the wall. We reserve the right to refuse participation to anyone who is too small to fit a harness properly.
2) All climbers must wear shorts/pants (no skirts), shirt and closed-toed tennis/climbing shoes to climb the wall. Shoes must be tied at all times.
3) Excessive jewelry must be removed before climbing.
4) Climbing ropes must stay in front of the climber’s body at all times.
5) The ropes and automatic belayers are only to be used for the designated climbing path. Climbers may not cross over and go onto another path.
6) Climbers may use only holds and the wall for climbing. Do not touch windows, railing, walls, etc.
7) When descending, climbers must come down facing the wall with feet ahead pushing off the wall lightly as you come down.
8) If climbers are observed not in compliance with safety and climbing rules, and not following the requests of the monitors, the staff will remove the climber from the wall.
9) All belayers must demonstrate proper belay technique to the Community Center staff prior to belaying.
10) If the rockwall becomes overcrowded, climbing time will be restricted to one hour for that day.
11) To assist with the flow of climbers, switching of the harnesses is not permitted. Once a climber has taken off the harness they must wait in line to climb again.
12) Harnesses may not be worn outside of the rockwall area.
13) Only those climbing are permitted on the mat. All others need to remain in the designated waiting area.
