No return trip planned. (Certainly doesn't help that after getting to the climbs you find someone chopped the bolts halfway up through to the anchors!)

White Sierran granite is rad and all, but it is exfoliating granite that will peel away whenever it has the chance. One of the largest blocks I've heard of a partner pulling off on a route was on the Nose, a climb that has seen a gazillion ascents over the years on supposedly the best rock in the universe. Give up avoiding the choss and just embrace it instead! I’d say there’s plenty of choss in California.

Honestly thought the RRG is excellent but still contains chossy sections. Temple crag is my only experience with true alpine choss is CA. Takes a gentle hand not to land a rock on your partner. - Luke The sad thing about the choss in California is that its not quite as tall as the choss in Colorado…

Including the Valley. The Red looks pretty good though. Sorry, it’s all choss in CA too. Including the Valley. The Red looks pretty good though.
