Mission Gorge and Valley of the Moon, San Diego's best chosspiles.
Mission Gorge is so rubbled out it's funny just to look at, and VotM looks OK til you touch it.
MG actually has really solid fine grained rock, problem is it's slicker than a baby's butt most everywhere. There's a route there named Spankin' the Beachball

Is there always a pretty girl halfway up? She's always following me everywhere..
So yeah, Rifle blooooows. I don't even love to hate it, just never liked that place but still spent a solid chunk over a couple years almost living there.

I saw a proposed choss pile with very chalked up holds. A real choss pile dose not have holds with the permanence required to accumulate chalk.

Rotwand is not "world famous" but definitely a "choss piles". The Notch Peak is a shoein in for both IMO.
edit- that was a sweet Notch Peak comeback burn Jim. well played sir'.

Only one mention of the canadian Rockies?
Easily the pre-eminent choss pile of north america. Even the most immaculate sport routes in the rockies are pure slag by international standards. And the mountains .....

Right you are Bruce Kay with the exception of "Back of the Lake" near Lake Louise where the rock is bullet proof.
