One tidbit I learned at the Open House was that the DBNF staff has met w/Rob Turan down at the Obed to learn more about their Climbing Management Plan. Here is the link to the Obed Plan: http://www.nps.gov/obed/final-CMP.pdf
"Be responsible for your actions and sensitive to the concerns of other visitors and land managers. ... Your reward is the opportunity to climb in one of the most beautiful areas in this part of the country." John H. Bronaugh

For your further education on commenting on the Draft Plan, here is the applicable portion of 40 CFR 1500.9 Review of draft environmental impact statements by Federal, Federal-State, State, and local agencies and by the public. -
1500.9(e) Responsibilities of commenting entities. (1) Agencies and members of the public submitting comments on proposed actions on the basis of draft environmental impact statements should endeavor to make their comments as specific, substantive, and factual as possible without undue attention to matters of form in the impact statement. Although the comments need not conform to any particular format, it would assist agencies reviewing comments if the comments were organized in a manner consistent with the structure of the draft statement. Emphasis should be placed on the assessment of the environmental impacts of the proposed action, and the acceptability of those impacts on the quality of the environment, particularly as contrasted with the impacts of reasonable alternatives to the action. Commenting entities may recommend modifications to the proposed action and/or new alternatives that will enhance the environmental quality and avoid or minimize adverse environmental impacts.
