JRCO Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 A few years ago while climbing at Fossil Rock I over heard some local Yelm climbers talking about a place called "Little Yosemite". It was a big secret that only a select few people were supposed to know about. It is supposedly located some where between Yelm and the Nisqually entrance to Rainier. Any one have any info?

cappellini Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 i've been there many times...it's more like squamish than yosemite....but there are huge granite cliffs and splitter cracks....me and timothy leary climbed about 15 first ascents...the rock is so clean you don't even need to brush on lead....when we have finish all 9,000 or so FA's i will publish a guide book, open a mini mart at the cliffs, and get rich...keep searching and you may find it....

jon Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Ok here's a question, which I can't investigate because I don't have the right CAG here. On your way to Hannigan Pass from the parking lot there is what appears to be granite domes to the left (north?), looks like it has some potential. Has anyone checked these out.

Jens Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Not sure about any little Yosemite. I grew up down and in pierce county and used to scratch around a lot down there. I have done some new obscure routes at the Eatonville crag. The cliff has rock quality that is complete shit -- garbage is about 500 feet high, not really a little Yosemite. It could be a quarry down there that a hardman took me to years ago but I am sworn to secrecy of. The cliffs in the high rock lookou t are big but garbge rock.

dbb Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 yeah, he said "Squamish like". Look for 30degree unforrested sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 ...Have you guys seen the wall that sits just outside Eatonville? I only noticed it last week driving back from Rainier, North east of town... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Hey when you hike up Snow Creek from the road, on the right hand side of the trail, after about an hour, there is a big granite face, does anyone think that has ever been climbed ?
