ß Î Ø T Ç H, regarding your photo of Laurel with the arrow, I flew down through that south eastern gully and I must say its quite a nasty place. For the most part anywhere the stone is red on Mt Laurel only means the devil lives there. The gray bands are not much better either. I remember being quite nervous for the few moments I was locked into that gully before I had enough altitude to clear the ridgeline and escape. The face of the mountain is sick, if you’re into that kind of crap.

ß Î Ø T Ç H asked:

Anybody here been up or down the gulley (indicated) on the left?


That's the Pinner Couloir on Laurel. I've only looked down into it, haven't gone up or down it yet.

Very easy to find beta and photos, if you search for it by name.

Over a thousand kilometers of prime choss with beautiful ocean views!
Magnificient. And could that be a shark a little up from the bottom?

Who can name the area?

Like climbing the butt-ends of logs sticking out of the side of a woodpile - on a basalt dike in the Blue Mtns. of Oregon - choss-tacaular!

This is actually not choss at all and needs the heck climbed out of it
I am always saying to the wind why is no one climbing this ?
It sits off a main road off a hi-way 2 miles from an EMS store!
and In plain sight, all winter any way.
The next two well they are also not that choosy either. just a bit. . . .In New Jersey then some more in Connecticut

Here's a really fun ridge traverse I did yesterday. Considered 4th Class, but it's definitely R-rated. The route sees mostly hikers. I was passed by a guy wearing a complete ranger-style khaki hiking uniform - I'm sure you've encountered these people on normal trails, but this ridge was just a pile of loose choss. (I didn't make the video, just did the same route)
