Mr_D Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 I don't know the exact location of chimney rocks, but that is the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Never seen water pouring over chimney rocks, but does look like 'em. If you catch the freeze perfectly there is this spot up one of the Oregon side creeks that drains into the Columbia. The trail head is right at Bonneville Dam and is about 2.5 miles up to a substantial waterfall. That's not the spot. Look across the canyon... there's this constant mist coming off the South canyon wall. I've seen this thing get huge. Unfortunately for me it was too warm and consequently couch sized blocks were dropping off at random. I think it's Tanner Creek drainage, a couple creeks West of Eagle. Anyone ever???

mike1 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Toprope shmoprope, looks like fun to me! Question: Is it from a small drainage or just freeze - melt? I'm thinking freeze melt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_D Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 Toprope shmoprope, looks like fun to me! Question: Is it from a small drainage or just freeze - melt? I'm thinking freeze melt... More mixed than ice due to thin (at best) ice. Not sure if it is a melt freeze cyle. my hunch is there is a slight seep with the help of a melt freeze cycle. Of course currently it is more melt than...well it is just melt. Would have to check the area out in summer or fall to see if it flows.
