Sorry, eKat, but us mumblers have always just called
it Columbia River columnar climbing cliffs...
This is of some minor histerical note in that it was
a roadside rest stop on the way back to Seattle from
a City of the Rocks trip. This was also the day that
St Helens blew for the second time which made the drive
all the more interesting. And thirdly, since you are
a major skinny skeezer this stud is none other than
Bela Bodnar! What, no bells? For shame! Uh, yeah, he
kinda knew how to light up the skinny tracks. Try
NCAA champeen (U of Wy) and thrasher of Bill Koch and Tim Caldwell
on a couple of occassions! He was on the '76 Oly team with
them but fell prey to the Commie food poisoning plot and
only just managed to finish the 30K when he shoulda been
right up there with Koch. Life takes us on a strange path, eh?
He's now a very successful realtor back in his hometown of
Anchorage. Oh, and he did like his Carharts.

My doppelgangers: Herman, Bruhelda, Franz, & Katz, are mostly pieces of basalt columns from our property.
Much of our “Ranchette” has chunks of basalt laying around.
We are about 300 vertical feet above the Snake River. I think our property was a giant eddy when the Lake Bonneville Flood rearranged the local topography.
Our basalt outcrops are awash in river gravel. They mined gold near here in the 1800’s. Could that be my “fall-back” plan?

Great pics all.
Hungary is practically void of any crack-climbing whatsoever apart from this place, where the BAHsalt is sweeeeeet. Sadly there is a complete ban of climbing on the thing and a "ranger station" right at its foot.
