Alex Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I saw that pillar from the highway, it looked like it formed because the E wind was so strong, kind of formed slanted to the right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obwan Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I have three grades that I use - sketchy, dicey, and heinous. I'm not sure where Scary fits in - but we'll give you the FA, as it was not a gimmee. Glad to see you are alive for the TR. I have lived here my whole life, and only rarely see the right conditions and temps that form ice at exit 38, such as "here today, gone tomorrow". Maybe some dinosaurs older than I can confirm.

Mercyful Fate Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 photo credit goes to Mike Massey. Thanks for the funny comments ! Well if it is an FA how about "The Thing" for a name. Definably a rarely seen thing at that crag or in Washington I guess. Bet that it formed an fell down in the span of a week. Luckily just happen to be there when it was best formed.
