Hey BIOTCH,
We were approaching Banner once and watching a guy up on that face solo.
He was about 2/3's of the way up towards the right side.
All of a sudden, just below the summit, a car sized chunk cut loose. The guy was directly in the fall line.
He heard it , looked up, and just pasted his body into the rock.
We were freaking out and I know exactly how he was feeling, even more gripped.
He was looking into the face of death.
The chunk disintegrated into many pieces and dislodged even more rock, as they have a habit of doing.
As the fall reached him the dust cloud obscured our view.
We waited what seemed like forever.
The dust settled and there he was!!!
He started down just as fast as he could!
Whew.
We continued on and bagged Banner.

All this alpine choss is in the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.
Here's the beta on the Y Couloir route on Ypsilon.
The colors of the Blitzen Ridge (5.4) blend in with the alpine tundra thousands of feet below. About 1/4 mile of the ridge can be seen in this picture.
The Donner Ridge is 4th class, but huge and definitely made out of choss!
I have no idea if anyone has climbed the north face of Mt Chiquita, in summer or winter. For sure, it's choss.
Terra Tomah Mtn is so hard to get to, I doubt there has been much climbing done on it. The wall on the north face is about 500' high.
