Comments: Yeah dude! Sweet shot. Who took it? Gus or Dan? I've never seen this route from that angle.

Comments: It does change you doesn't it? And you're right, not for the better in many cases. There's quite a bit of difference between seeing things in a Sally Struthers commercial and being there. I bet that trip was awesome.
Perhaps the reason people were willing to trade with us is because they knew we were military- and they associate much less wealth with military for some reason, although I'm sure the "rich and white" connotation was still there. Regardless, a great, and very telling picture.

Comments: This placement screams offset cam. Either the orange/red or red/black mastercam.

Comments: To get to the boulder field near SB, follow the approach trail. On the second leg of the trail towards SB, you'll see a "boulders ->" sign about 300-400 yards from the main wall, if that far. I haven't been to any of the other bouldering at or near Moore's- this is the only that I know of exactly, although I know that much more exists.

Comments: Yep, sure is. That was July and it was brutally hot and humid. I was on an annual camping trip nearby, and I always hit THW. If it's a little more mild, I'll make the trek up to Buzzard.

Comments: Two unnecessary bolts were added to the top of this route a few years ago, by whom I don't know.

Comments: I've seen some pretty good whips on this one. The cool think about this .7 is that it can turn into a couple grades harder if you wander. I've seen (and taken) decent whips on this one. If you find yourself way left of the third bolt, it's thin and clipping is tough. If you stay close to the bolts, you'll find great stances and good holds. Fun for the beginning leader. Fun for anyone, really.

Comments: The gear on this one is thin. I found a good nut before the bolt and a marginal small cam after the bolt- a #2 Mastercam I think. I still felt like the only thing that would keep me off the ground was the bolt. The climbing is 5.7ish until you reach the bolt, then the .10a starts. Decent route.

Comments: This is a phenomenal pic. Very seldom can a shot capture true exposure, but this one sure as hell does.

Comments: Nice route. I agree with the comments about the start being tough for the grade of 5.7. Three good moderates all packed in one area. Piton Crack, Rusty Bong, and Fern Crack.

Comments: I thrutched my way up this thing in late May. The bottom half was soaked so I started climbing it like a chimney. Fifteen minutes later with my chest and back all scummed up from wedging myself in, I found myself at the anchors.
Later that afternoon, my partner almost effortlessly stemmed his way up. It's a decent route. Thanks for adding it. If I had gotten any pics of it, I would have.

Location: NC : Stone Mountain : Stone Mountain South Face : U Slot (5.7+ PG13)
By: Jake Jones When: May 7, 2012 | view comment >> |
Comments: Flexibility helps to get a right foot up on the sharp part of the slot. I thrutched it up there doing kind of a lieback to get a toe up and then rocked my weight onto it. Easy runout to the closest solid tree to build a belay. For a less heady slab lead, but a slightly harder move onto the roof/bulge, try Block route to the left. I didn't find this route to be PG13 probably because I had some Metolius offsets. I think the yellow/orange 2/3 went in the shallow flaring crack that leads you to... more >>
