My friendis worried about damaging routes after rain. Someone told her the Superior area is all sand stone. I thought it was volcanic rock, definitly not like any sand stone i've ever seen.
sooooooo does any one know,
What type of rock is the Totem pole? how soon can it be climbed after it rains?
You’re in the land of Dacite- a soft volcanic rock or “pockets”. I’d give it a day to dry out depending on the aspect or temps over 100 degrees. Consider the heat and rattlesnakes this time of year as important as the monsoons floods in the canyon, in relation to your vehicle and egress. Please take care of the place while you visit there and pick up any micro trash if possible. Have fun and enjoy the .10d. Smokin’ the Toad is a fun .8 or Graphics Bong .10a are good warm ups.
I’ve always thought that it was some type of limestoneish rock, very pockety not the hardest rock but it’s also not as soft as sandstone. Sometimes there are coarse crystals in the pockets. One of my partners thinks that it’s very sharp rock, however, I’ve never thought that it’s notably sharp. I think you’d be fine climbing it the next day after rain at this time of year with the heat.
