[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 288819, member: 2976"] Not sure, might well be the case. I've only been there once - one climb was enough - but from memory it is a conical protrusion sticking straight up out of relatively flat ground with nothing similar looking in very close proximity. I thought the name "Mount Scoria" might have implied something about it but I guess just because the stuff is found on and around the base of the formation it might not mean it's a volcanic neck. It does have the same colums as the top of Mount Hoy at Tomahawk creek on the Anakie field, but again Mount Hoy might be part of a flow rather than a core. I've never seen Mount Hoy first hand, I only know about the colums from photographs taken by members of my club who climbed it. An interesting thing about Mount Scoria is that whenever there is a thunderstorm about, people living close by can hear the mountain echo thunderclaps in the key of C. Supposedly anyhow. [/QUOTE]
