Choss is Classic

It was a far left foot that only tall people would use around the fourth bolt, it made the move so less scrunchy. I am sure I will rip off the jug eventually as well. It was huge, everyone freaked out probably at least 20 lbs.

 I see. 

World Wall 1 is funny as to whether it is choss or not. There's definitely some loose rock, but where it's is good it is remarkably good. Like the shiny smooth bullet hard panel if rock at the Psycho crux. Or all of Black Ice. Have you tried Vanilla Ice, Trevor? It's a super good 13a - I liked it better than Chronic, and it's the stepping stone to Black Ice. 

Anyway, WW2 is the really the spot for classic choss. Real fun, real chossy.

I hate bust a move so I haven't honestly bothered. If Bust a move removed the bottom 50% of the climb I would enjoy it much more.

Californicator is more my mission than chronic  and I still need to work and send propaganda but I hate projecting.

No one ever wants to go! I did everything at nevermind and it is hard to get people to go do the more obscure non world wall 5.12s. I am getting on ghost tonight which might be the worst rock in the exits!

Kevin, yeah people overrate rock quality and are over concerned by it. In general people don't even care about rock or route quality they actually care about the climbing experience which places more importance on climbing density, ease of access, variety of climbing, and cleanness of route. Rock quality also isnt even an issue for the climber more so the belayer.

Ease of access is overrated where the climbing experience is concerned

Embrace it !!!  

Has anyone here climbed Pinnacles National Park?  The final boss of choss and crud.

Any self- respecting chossaneer has made the pilgrimage to Pinnacles NP.  All hail the mightly mud- pile.
