Granite (IPA: /ˈgranɪt/) is a common and widely occurring type of intrusive, felsic, igneous rock.

Granites are usually a white, black or buff color and are medium to coarse grained, occasionally with some individual crystals larger than the groundmass forming a rock known as porphyry. Granites can be pink to dark gray or even black, depending on their chemistry and mineralogy.

Outcrops of granite tend to form tors, rounded massifs, and terrains of rounded boulders cropping out of flat, sandy soils. Granites sometimes occur in circular depressions surrounded by a range of hills, formed by the metamorphic aureole or hornfels.

This one was pretty darned easy. It just takes a little practice, and within a matter of days most people could walk a short amount of slackline. Did it on the rope, and then the webbing at Planet Granite climbing gym.See more progress on: walk a slackline
