Details
From the MVC:
The Methow Valley Climbers, a chapter of the Washington Climbers Coalition, respectfully asks visiting climbers to NOT camp or sleep in your vehicles anywhere along the paved section of Lost River Road or in the Fun Rock parking lot ... Please use a blue bag when on route and take all of your trash home. We thank you for taking responsibility during your visit to help keep climbers in good relations with the local community. Welcome to the valley and safe climbing.
From the USFS:
When planning your visit to the Methow Valley, please choose an appropriate campsite and use established toilets, or pack it out in areas without toilets. The roadside pullouts below the Goat Wall and Gate Creek are NOT considered sustainable places to camp due to proximity to the Methow River and lack of toilets.
Please see the uploaded map "Camping for Climbers" for campgrounds ($8-12 per night) and low-impact FREE dispersed areas with toilets within a few miles of your favorite crag. Free sites include: Goat Creek and Yellowjacket SnoParks (April-October only), and dispersed sites west of Monument Creek Trailhead.
Description
Usually forms every year in some manner. Conditions can be between WI3-WI4 and can have between 2-3 pitches. One of the easier introductory climbs in Mazama.
Location
Located in a drainage left of Goat Wall called Goat Wall Creek. 3.1 miles up Lost River Road from the Mazama store. Park near the drainage and hike uphill . The drainage will bottleneck and gets brushy. The climb is the right most climb in this area. Approach is around 30-40min depending on snow.
Protection
Screws. Tree anchor or V-threads

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
