drater Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 600' to 800' by my best guesstimate, solid conglomerate. Thanks Timmy!!! Quote
Dechristo Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 never climbed on consistently "solid" conglomerate Quote
NYC007 Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 near Chewleh? called boyscout rock. Crumbles in your hand is the word. Quote
drater Posted November 29, 2006 Author Posted November 29, 2006 Can you tell us more? Behind the 7-11 in Renton. Quote
drater Posted November 29, 2006 Author Posted November 29, 2006 never climbed on consistently "solid" conglomerate Check the Manresa Grotto in Pend Oreille County. You can't remove a stone from the matrix. At least without using a sledge. This stuff is not quite that bomber and it might be classified a volcanic instead of a conglomerate but holy shit, good rock. I just checked the bolders that were at the base of adjacent walls, didn't hike up to this one but they were quality to say the least. And off limits to the likes of everyone who's not me. Thought some intrepid route developer might be interested in the big stuff tho. Quote
drater Posted November 29, 2006 Author Posted November 29, 2006 near Chewleh? called boyscout rock. Crumbles in your hand is the word. HWY 21, just outside of BFE. Don't know what formation is boyscout rock outside of chewelah but that quartzite on the south side of Flowery Trail Pass is fricken bullet. Access seems sketch. Quote
drater Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 I thought it was called quartzite mountain. And that some people had tried to climb it but couldn't find anything solid It is called quartzite mountain and if the boldering cave I found out back of town is reflective of the rock up higher, it should be very good. But I've heard the same as you and haven't ever stopped long enough to hike up there and see firsthand. Quote
