Yes, Dingus, yes.
I wanna tell you a little secret, being a chosser, is a lot like being in love. No one needs to tell you, you are in love, you just know it, through and through. Cobbles to brains.

What's even better than choss? Offwidth and squeeze chimney choss!
There's a great place up to the left of Upper Yosemite Falls that has a chimney slightly wider than heel-toe, full-on granite ball bearings spraying off everything and granite plates filling up your underwear.

If you climb in Eldo long enough you'll perhaps realize you've negotiated quite a bit of choss in outstanding locations mixed in with mostly stellar rock. That's when the Rotwand begins to feel approachable, desirable, COMPELLING even. Having navigated four routes on that gem I can say it's a little bit like climbing FROM position of relative safety TO position of relative safety (mix/match & repeat), without much reliable protection along the way. Not that there's anything wrong with that ... See, the choss, BE ... the choss ... Just don't let it "set you free".

Gal, yep that's Camelback right in the middle of Phoenix. I only had an afternoon after a training class in Phoenix a few years ago, and Manny gave me a gracious tour of fun stuff including his own creations. Or are they simply revelations of what hath been created already?

No choss thread is complete without a nod to Top Hat BTW. Definitely a choice morsel not to be missed by the choss connoisseur.
