Hey, M! How do you keep the cam from reloading so damn often or freeze the image? It's driving me bonkers! Glad to hear Spirit's got her spirits up!

Wayback Machine Skeezix, Those B/W shots of Triple S and from the cave at the south end are priceless. What a nostalgia fest you've sent me on... :sigh: You did know that Thai's Face ain't there anymore, either, right? BTW: You looked a lot like I did 27 years ago, but I think my beard was bigger.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!1 ...and your map.

Show up with the pics next time will ya? I was... uhhhh... busy.

One of those Chinese hanging basket chair thingies that attaches to the front porch roof also works. Trust me...

That's too damn funny! Truck balls on a chrysler sedan - and blue ones at that! I'd say the guy (or gal) has a pair of brass ones in their pants for that stunt.

Billy, I know about your roots! Sorry to say, I didn't take any pics of the old Gendarme before it fell. Or are you referring to the climbing store?

ivan- didn't figure you for a transplant. glad you could share the love from back there.

'nuff said! Yo.

True, but that doesn't make it any less gay. True, but I never said that made it any less geh. yeah, my bad, point recieved! let us agree that this whole thing is gay! I agree, this whole MLU thing is really really really geh!

now the carpet can match the drapes

True, but that doesn't make it any less gay. True, but I never said that made it any less geh.

What'dya expect? That's politics as usual.

Goddamn it pink, quit screwing with the thread title. You're fucking with my Watched Topics again.

Yeah, me too. :snif:

Yeah, that's how it ended up getting fenced off. It was many years later that they took the fence down, put in ADA accessibility, interpretive signs, and outlawed climbing.

Again, agreed. SO must be currently sharin' the sheets.

Agreed. Limit it to cc.com posters, or their SOs (like Ms. Granite, etc.)

got a pic?

is it off to your left (as you head west from Naches) just as you make the left turn at the wye? That funky formation at the corner across the river? Or are you talking about Painted Rocks, just outside of Yakima before you cross the Naches River at the twin bridges? Has a concrete irrigation flume running across the top of the band. If so, that area has been closed to climbing for many years because of the Indian petroglyphs.

Phydeaux sends his love and congratulations to Latte and her momma. He's keeping "an eye" on this thread.

If I'm thinking of the same wall as you seem to be describing, the answer is "it could be", as I think what you are talking about lies on private land at the base of a cliff below an apple orchard up top. Also, if it's the same place, the rock is a shit heap. Tim Pond's Wall, about 3/4 to 1 mile past the wye, is the first "real" climbable rock, but it's closed for possible nesting right now. You can't miss it, since you park at the fishing ponds right below the cliff band. Hardly anyone ever goes there anyway, with Royal Columns, directly across from the WDFW Wildlife Station, being the first real climbing venue in the river valley.

Sounds like a win-win scenario. We can ogle the former, and laugh at the latter!

Go to Tieton, but stay away from Tim Pond Wall, Royal Columns, Tieton Wall, and The Bend (raptor closure currently in effect). These are the first three/four obvious walls that appear on the right within the first three miles or so after making the turn off SR-410/US-12 at the Y. You can be sure that you've passed the last closed wall (The Bend) once you've driven west past the derelict old metal Quonset hut on the left side of the road. After that, it's all good!

Have a cigar.
