RockOnce again, great set of pictures. Couple of questions.
1. What type of rock is this?
2. Is it worth the drive?
Thanks,
Jason

Re: RockJason,
1. granite - have no idea what type of granite it is exactly, but it's clean and highly featured with dishes and flakes (compared to the stuff in Yosemite).
2. definitely! we've done the drive there 3 times for a 3-day weekend but are crazy enough about this place to drive there (once) on a regular weekend (leave Friday after work, drive 10 h thru. the night, climb Sat. & 1/2 day Sun. and get back home Sun. night by 1 or 2am).
My impression of climbing at the City is that (1) routes are clean (2) ratings feel "right" after climbing at Smith (no sandbags that we've encountered yet) (3) has this out of the way backcountry feel (before Memorial Day anyway).
