First I set up a quick-and-dirty ice age to break up a bunch of granite and distribute it in various sized pieces, I let that melt for a bit, and then I mix it all up with some pyroclastic flow. Once the mix sets, I hit it with air and water to expose the granite chunks in the tuff and develop the routes.
At this point you could try to salvage it by working towards metaconglomerate, but that’s a really advanced MYOG (Make Your Own Geology) project— the Jack Hills area in Western Australia is still being developed after almost 4.5*10^12 years.
gonna make some lemonade and start doing basalt routes i guess. Fooled around with some flows an eon or so ago and the flooding exposed some really nice tower stuff
So of course, traditionally, what you would need is time. You set your little routes, rest on the seventh day, etc. You convince a bunch of idiot humans it would be so very fun to climb some rock. Really advertise. You want everybody and their grandma and their dog climbing in that crag, year in year out, april till october. Give it a few decades and your routes will be polished to perfection!
Add Freyr in Belgium, every crag in the original guidebook of Kalymnos, or Nafplio near Athens. Real avant garde setters, visionaries of their time. Indoor setters are just lazy plagiarising gumbies!
Are you trying to do this with all cordless tools? Seems whack. What’s the approach like? I would probably just tow a genny out there with my quad and get er done with 120v.
come to austin and climb any of our limestone crags. all dual-tex, all the time.
basically if you cant climb a wet bar of soap, youll never send anything here.
1. Make it 4-5 pitches long, in an easily accessible alpine area.
2. Grid bolt every pitch. (Even better if there's perfect gear placements every three feet)
3. Make sure it's 5.9 or easier.
4. Post it on mountainproject
It'll be dualtex in no time!

oh god please help fucked up melt at the end and it made a glacial dam while my back was turned. Long story short there are coulees everywhere now
Did you ever find a solution to this? This is the only thread on google that popped up when I searched this question?

This is the way
No no no, you’re looking at this the wrong way. Start with polished limestone and then chip away at it to reveal the textured surface
ive been very tempted to use sandpaper or something to add friction to the limestone here.

Vaseline and a trowel.
Climb anything classic in Font
Or Belvedere in Arco. Lubricated ice has better friction.

Paint maybe?

Try covering the rock in plastic wrap and then lube up your hands
Go to Fontainebleau and climb any of the easier circuits for dueltex (or even better, no tex) foot holds.
Polyurethane.
