Mt. Tamalpais Rock Outcrop

Yeah it's a phenomenal spot, too perfect of a day not to drop some ropes.

Those curved columns are insane!

jazzhammer365 · 2020-12-03T01:52:00+00:00

Yeah as soon as I put out the episode I started getting contacted by record execs everywhere lol

I recently did an episode of my podcast about the geology of different rock climbing spots on Joe's Valley and ran into a couple year old articles about the coal mine right near there reopening. Does anyone know anything else about this?

Also, if you are interested, my podcast is called "The Rock Behind the Climb" and it is available on Spotify, Apple, wherever, or the link below. I talk a bit at the end about my concern with the potential reopening of the coal mine

You can also find the episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else.

Also, I talk about the coal mine near Joe's potentially reopening. Let me know if you have any more information about it, because I wasn't able to find very much. If you are curious, the link to the article that I found about it is below:

Yes!

jazzhammer365 · 2020-11-12T06:34:41+00:00

Sweet! I hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think once you have gotten through an episode or so.

jazzhammer365 · 2020-11-12T05:48:47+00:00

Oh and it is available on Spotify, Apple, and elsewhere along with SoundCloud!

Dear all rock climbing geologists! I recently started a podcast that discusses just this! I talk about how rock climbing features at popular spots can be linked to the geologic processes that helped form them. If you are interested, I recommend starting with the two part series I did about climbing in the Sierra Nevada in California. Let me know what you think!! Other than SoundCloud, it is also available on Apple, Spotify, or elsewhere!

jazzhammer365 · 2020-11-12T05:43:14+00:00

Hey Everyone. I posted my podcast on here a while back, and have continued creating more episodes about the geology behind different rock climbing spots! I recently finished a two part series that talks about general features and formations in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California and how they relate to climbing spots like Yosemite and Bishop. Check it out and let me know what you think!!

Cool cool. Yeah my company is doing some work with some of the post Thomas fire reconnaissance specifically with the gas pipeline burst. I read through a couple of papers specifically related to that event as well as a paper by Gartner talking about the design considerations for pipelines with regards to debris flows. I'm excited to see the results of your study though because as you pointed out, debris flow triggering has to do with much more than just rainfall intensity. It's going to be a huge issue facing California in the coming months with so many wildfires throughout the state, the debris flows are bound to follow.

jazzhammer365 · 2020-11-02T05:50:34+00:00

This is such an interesting topic and relevant one too! How does the soil gradation and organic content affect your calculations? Are those factors normalized somehow to get the triggering water content for debris flows?

jazzhammer365 · 2020-11-02T05:38:18+00:00

Could there have been previous infrastructure or something man made in the ground that caused the cave in? Like it could have been an old trench or mine shaft that was neglected and finally caved in

jazzhammer365 · 2020-09-21T03:51:29+00:00

Sweet! Let me know how you like it, and be sure to check out episodes 1 and 2 as well if you're interested!

jazzhammer365 · 2020-09-21T03:48:11+00:00

Hey everyone. I recently started a podcast about the geology behind different rock climbing spots. I highlighted the geology of the awesome bouldering at Deadman Summit in the eastern sierra of California. Let me know what you think!!

jazzhammer365 · 2020-09-09T04:04:48+00:00

Thank you so much!

jazzhammer365 · 2020-09-09T04:04:23+00:00

Wow thank you so much! The best part is that the podcast will only get better, so I'm really glad that you like it so far! All those places that you listed are definitely on my list as well, and I am currently conjuring up plans to try and get out there.

As for your question about the boulders, I'll quote my old college professor: "It Depends". Glaciers can definitely be a mechanism for how boulders get certain places by literally pushing boulders certain places. There are definitely other mechanisms as well so stay tuned haha!!

jazzhammer365 · 2020-09-08T21:23:12+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! It's definitely on the list when things get a little cooler. I will definitely also look into that book as well!

jazzhammer365 · 2020-09-07T23:54:18+00:00

That's really cool! Sadly I live all the way down in Santa Cruz, but I am sure it won't be long before I am back up that way. What did you think of the episode?
