chirp Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Anyone know about routes on the North side of the inlet to Skookumchuck Res. (Thurston County)? I was there years ago bushwhacking around but we ended up on the South shore and no where near any rock. Is it worth the thrash or a big waste of time?

erik Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 i have heard heard heard heard that the resumed quarrying now as far as that being the truth, i dunno? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 The routes are long gone, blasted to rubble and hauled off to make breakwaters. That quarry was really active when I went by there a couple years ago (Columbia Granite Quarry), some wierd kind of granite, super hard stone. You can buy a boulder big enough to climb on for only $25 a ton, but moving and placing it would cost big bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCramer Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Erik - Roger's Corner is to the right of the ice. The ice is on the Black Wall just left of Leo Chimney. You can see Marginal Karma and B o C on the corner wall. It look like GNS has changed a bit since the picture was taken. OW - Nice pic. Thanks for posting it. Believe it or not the Pickett photos were stored in a garage for years until they were donated to the UW. It is remarkable that they held up so well. Just a few years ago the collection was not even properly indexed it is great to find out that now it is an online resource. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
