Sphinx Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 I'll be down there in a few weeks. Is it still an oven? Quote
Peter_Puget Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 Hey there is always the GORGE! There be some rockin' route there. Quote
Peter_Puget Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 RumR - The gorge rocks why don't you like it? Quote
RuMR Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 Gorge is good...but you have to admit that around here, we have nothing like tuff...so why not sample what the area really has to offer...basalt can be found all over wa, but that technical mud compressed peanut butter can only be found there, right? Plus, you got dope footwork! Bonus, 4 letter grades in ability just for showin' up! Quote
Peter_Puget Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 The basalt in the gorge is soo much better than the WA varieties. But I get what you mean I just liek the gorge Quote
RuMR Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 for me...the best is to hit smith one day, till tips are toasted then go to the gorge... Quote
Off_White Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 It's been a long time since I've been there, but also in the gorge's favor is that it tends to be underpopulated. I had a great day there on a weekend a number of years back, while folks were taking numbers and waiting in line all over the tuff. Peter is right too, the basalt in the gorge is better than much of what you find up in WA. Rumr, there is more tuff out along the Owyhee river, isn't there? I suppose Deadman's Summit is too far away to count... Quote
EWolfe Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 The Tuff is pretty fingery for those not used to it -I'm with Rumr - tweak for a day, then enjoy the quality basalt. For a real adventure, try "Mines of Moira" Quote
