I would be very curious to find out where a gabbro climbing area would be, given the rapid weathering characteristics of such ultra-mafics, and the relative scarcity of surficial occurrence. Perhaps a slowish cooling basalt lava? Location? Not exactly doubting, just very curious. Might have to plan a trip there!

There's gabbro on the Cuillin ridge of Skye (island off west coast of Scotland), remarkable stuff to climb on, great friction, even when wet.

Once I complete a number of the other Yosemte related articles I am working on, I plan to add some of the history of Yosemite rock climing here, which has been very influential in North America. ClaudeMuncey

I really don't understand why this page is called 'rock climbing' and yet it is obviously but a history/guide to the climbing in the British Isles... good information by any means, but maybe a little tweaking of the page title is in order... AdamMorgan

[edit] Request: danger of rock climbing

Any history about the dangers? It looks so dangerous. (Bjorn Tipling 01:39, 8 February 2007 (UTC))
