[Hide Comment] Funny that this route has only one tick. There are usually 1-2 cars parked at the approach in winter weekends and the approach is well-packed in. It is relatively popular and consistently forms. Oct 5, 2024
[Hide Comment] Several Questions.
1. Who placed the rebar rungs in the wall left of the Mazama Queen addit, where do they go ?
2. Are there any other mining works above the main MQ adit.
3. There are historical pictures of wooden ladders going beyond the main MQ addit where did they go and why?
Thank you
