The Best Rock For Climbing On Earth that I've ever seen is in Mali Africa.
Thousand miles of untouched rock with big walls.
The rock is super excellent too.
The only problem is there's no water and it's hotter n sh!t.
and now the fuking ISIS creeps are there.
Went a whole day and night without water on one tower and was hallucinating all kinds of cold drinks .....

It's a no brainer. Pick one type of rock in the whole world which is the best for climbing? GRANITE. period.
There's tons of exotic rock out there and they're all great, but the best single type on Earth? GRANITE. period.

There is only one possible answer...
There IS No Best Rock, there is too Much Great/Best Rock on this earth to be able to call one rock better than the other
It's all the Best, even the Sh#t Rock at Josh
But to say what would be the best for me.. water polished granite with the occasional quartz and garnet crystals, or maybe a crystal pod you can crawl into!

Big Mikes full of it!
Nothing to see here.
So maybe he happened to have pics of 3 of the 8 cracks in town that are wider than a gold Camelot, it's all a sham- there's no ow here. Stay away masochists, they can all be laybacked at 5.7
Everything else climbable here represents a featureless slab wasteland with gross misuse of bolt guns starting from the top featuring updated anchors where u could probably dig out an A3 RP placement and back it up on a dead tree root. Tradition has been replaced with convenience here and if you value your souls you will stay away.
Who wants to sit at a belay 500' off the ground enjoying the views And not hAving to think u and ur partner could die at any second due to belay failure? Happens all the time here unfortunately.
The valley is where u want to go, way more of everything and not so many annoying dogs trying to be your friend. Bigger walls, better weather, cheaper beer & smokes, way more ancient fixed mank, the list goes on.
Personally though from what I've touched I'd also have to say font would be a good place to climb until u die, probably the best on earth according to my sliding scale of judgement.

Definitely Death Metal. Nothing better than singing lyrics to our Dark Lord as I'm super run out on a 5.7. Hardcore.

Granite seems to attract the most climbers.
No good when polished but when heavily featured is awesome. Some of the photos of featured granite in this tread are exceptional.
So Big Mike is right. Especially on the City of Rocks, Idaho granite. That stuff is mighty fine. Well featured and not too slick.
But for those of us who live in LA, well....
