Wow, that's really cool!

Beaten by samh at pedantry.

Casket Quarry: Another climber-named Duluth location that has become part of the popular lexicon (see the discussion about Whoopee Wall in the Point of Rocks post). Local mountaineers were originally inspired, and a little unnerved, by the coffin-like burial vaults stacked along the railroad tracks here. The vaults used be manufactured in the building that has now been recycled (ironically) as Loll manufacturing, a company that recycles plastic milk jugs into sweet outdoor furniture. Loll is clearly missing the boat by not capitalizing on this location and incorporating brightly colored sarcophagi into their product line... scratch that, I see they make planters.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Whoppe Wall discussion of recent so this Casket Quarry photo was a nice continuation. In regard to which route he is climbing he is closer to "Crescent" than "Turkey Chute" when you compare the photos using the graffiti atop the crag as a comparative feature.

You're correct Paul. I spoke with Adam Dailey this morning and he said that this is Scott Backe (sp?). Adam also wears an orange coat sometimes while climbing but can confirm that he did not fall at Casket recently.
