What kind of rock makes up the summit?

0

The hard resistant rock on the summit is mostly greenstone (a slightly altered form of basalt, a common igneous rock that makes up much of the upper part of the ocean crust) and hard reddish chert with minor amounts of graywacke sandstone and shale. The exposed rock that you can stand on inside the summit museum is greenstone.
