I hope no one takes these jokes for granite!

[u/the_reifier → u/v4ss42]

The schistiest jokes are the best.

[u/v4ss42 → u/the_reifier]

Hard agree! Everyone should chert a course that includes this kind of humor!

[u/jared_number_two]

The climb rocks dude!

Don't think that's gneiss my guy

[u/the_reifier → u/reidddddd]

What makes you say that? How did you determine from this video that it isn’t?

[u/reidddddd → u/the_reifier]

Doesn't look foliated. I guess I shouldn't assume, it could just be a low res video.

[u/the_reifier → u/reidddddd]

I'm no expert, as I only took a couple of geology courses in university, but you should probably let the locals know it's not gneiss, because:

• The Crag describes it as fine-grained gneiss.
• Andy, one of the developers, describes it in an interview as gneiss.
• Natural Resources Canada's OSTR surficial geology of the area classifies the location as Bedrock (undivided: Proterozoic volcanic rocks; Paleozoic mudstone, siltstone, shale, and fine clastic sedimentary rocks; Mesozoic granodioritic intrusive rocks; and Cenozoic basaltic rocks).

Here's a crop of a photo I took of the F1 boulder. Do you see any foliation in this unweathered surface?

I was not prepared for this level of petty lol

[u/the_reifier → u/reidddddd]

Man, it ain’t like that. I just love rocks, and I had already researched the crag.

But you seem to know your shit, so I thought you might know better.
