Several walls of basalt columns will cool your cragging fever. The "french fry" columns here have a colorful, yellow-green lichen coat. Watch out: some entire columns have pitched off! Good potential in a beautiful desert environment. Routes developed as early as 1953. As this area is arid and usually dry, it's a good place to head when its wet in Seattle - usually dry.
