Description

A Dee Molenaar sketch of the Spanaway Ice and Rock Education climbing facility at Sprinker Recreation Center. The Spanaway Ice and Rock Education outdoor climbing facility opened at Spanaway’s Sprinker Recreation Center in 1976 and was built entirely by volunteers. Molenaar, an accomplished climber, artist and cartographer, was involved in the volunteer effort. His artwork has been displayed around the world and in a 2005 interview with The News Tribune he said mountains have always been his muse. “The only thing I really like painting is mountains,” he said. “I love them. I hope to give a feeling of peace, show the beauty of the mountain. I hope to inspire people to go to the mountains.”
