oh, volcanoes. Choss is different when it's basically something you climb with your ice gear.
This is the last picture I took of this route because we climbed through the night and my camera was destroyed by rockfall hitting my pack at dawn

…on the Escarpment outside of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during a two-year teaching stint. Most of this FA fell off, including the belay ledge I'm standing on—right after I topped-out and tied off. …the worst Upper Jurassic limestone I've ever touched. Think chalk.
Really. I had no other choice…
Oh… And I've done some rock climbing on Mt. Foraker. Does that count?

Opto gets at least a silver medal right now. Too late for Olympic analogies?
I'm trying to figure out how to pro some of his shots! Not a lot of options without pitons on board, or running it out!
The Guadalupe Rocks could be considered choss, let me look for pics. Get there at full reservoir and you can dive off the top anchors at the Lower Rock into about 12ft water. Good times in the summer!
(At that level you're swimming out to the second bolt. Clip and go! Yeah, the rope will get wet with other stuff too, but who cares? It's 5.7-5.10, 3 routes+. Pick a line.)
Woot!!!!!
Guadalupe Lower Rock!
The rock from the creek-bed;
One more;
I have no idea what kind of rock it is. I hear it's called 'Greenstone'. It's like granite meets limestone, but a bit more limestone.
I have a pic of the Middle Rock too. It's been cleaned up a bit now;

Just to drive home ydpl8s point in his photo he is climbing the best rock on that choss pile named 3 Fingered Jack.
The climb up was complete because on the summit there was a hatch of flies and fire to the north.
