My closest world famous choss pile is Pie Shop. I'll boulder there on occasion and maybe do that 5.10 thing up to the right exit of that roof thing once every year or two... but it certainly ain't my favorite. Topping my list is:
1) Big Cottonwood
2) American Fork
3) Smith Rocks
4) The Horn

I never thought of Smith as a choss pile. I guess if you were climbing there back before the 10 millionth ascent of a route there was choss that would come off maybe.
I would say the Auburn Cliffs are a huge choss pile however not famous.

I looked over the edge of the Black Canyon once. It was really cool as a geologist. Never once thought it was worth climbing.

Work with us here, Larry. The Horn is a truly woeful chossheap that you would not wish upon you very worst enemies. It's where LEB should be sent to learn how to climb.
Just sayin'.
