Erratic

Erratic
A large glacial erratic perched improbably on the ridge next to Little Needle Peak. Telephoto view; location is of the erratic rather than the photo point.

Rocher erratique ! On se demande parfois comment ils se tiennent là!

It was just in the right place when the ice melted away underneath! ;)

Do you know the rock type of the erratic and of where it ended up, Steve?

Well, I haven't been up to check ;), but from here it looks like it's derived locally, from the volcanic rocks that overlie the Sierran granite in this area. Little Needle Peak itself is made of the same stuff.
