Thanks for the link to the DNR map, if its the piece I think it might be - could be a Tfg Ginkgo Flow There is just something about natural made that appeals to most and the property is very close in, with public land travel is required, perhaps an hour or more of driving afterschool, work, and on the weekends is a challenge; and I like the idea of reduced fuel consumption, traffic, etc. Not sure if WSDOT test results apply to the suitability of climbing but here they are: Absorption: 1.21 Apparent Sp. G.: 2.895 Bulk Sp. G. (SSD): 2.831 Bulk Sp. G.: 2.797 Deg: 82 LA: 27

Thank you for the response and information, please remember it's simply a fledgling business plan, and I am merely in a planning stage at best; your providing local geological contacts is much appreciated. According to DNR's website the local area is- Columbia River Basalt: In the western portion of the Columbia Basin, the flows of the Columbia River Basalt Group have been folded into a series of giant anticlines that strike east-west to southeast-northwest. This region is called the Yakima Fold Belt subprovince. The anticlines have steep dips north of the fold axis and overturned beds in numerous locations. The south flanks of the anticlines have gentle dips. Folding was initiated during middle to late Miocene time and has continued to this day. Crossing the Columbia Basin is a northwest-trending tectonic feature called the Olympic Wallowa Lineament. Right-lateral displacement on this transform structure influenced the formation of the Pasco Basin. In any case, if the basalt on the property is not safe and/or suitable for climbing, so be it; the begining of the end to a rock climbing element. Not being a rock climber, I have to appreciate your candid risk warnings, just thought a rock climbing element would encourage being outdoors here as well as spark an interest in the sport, thereby supporting both a personal vision and regional rockclimbing enthusiasts, as the sun shines nearly 320 days a year here, so perfect for outdoor passions, such as rock climbing.

Off White, Leland Windham, Bryan Burdo, and others where are you, when I NEED you?

If that is the case, it's too late; the quarry has already been blasted a few times to produce rip rap for flood control.

Can you provide with thier contact information "Leland Windham or Bryan Burdo" Thank you, in advance.

I am preparing a business plan to develop 90 acres in eastern Washington, and would like to include a rock climbing element. The parcel is the triangle that is in the center at the upper edge and bordering Resthaven Road, it is currently a basalt quarry and blasting is permitted to create specific rock climbing elements. Any suggestions for the design of rock climbing elements would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance for your input either here or privately at Bachiahtat@msn.com.
