Rock, from the geologic map
Felsic and hornblendic gneisses, either separate or interlayered — gneiss, minor metabasalt, metagraywacke. Paleoproterozoic, about 2,500 to 1,600 million years old.
Includes metabasalt, metatuff, and interbedded metagraywacke; locally contains interlayered biotite gneiss. Derived principally from volcanic rocks
This is the map unit under this crag's map point, read from the 1:500,000 sheet (Horton and others, 2017, U.S. Geological Survey Data Series 1052). The point can be a few hundred metres from the rock, a cliff often stands on the line between two units, and at that scale a line on the map is about 500 m wide on the ground, so the wall itself may be the neighbouring unit. Every crag on this unit: Felsic and hornblendic gneisses, either separate or interlayered. Geology data: Macrostrat (CC BY 4.0), serving USGS and Colorado Geological Survey maps.
