shoeing up for p3?... one of the water streak crossings
ID 105898988 · · Copyright Violation?
Indy padding over the water and into the Oasis.
This is the best protected pitch of what the guidebook calls the <em> best protected climb at Stone Mtn</em>. The cheese grater swing potential on this pitch is a bit heady if you're not used to leading on granite. Double ropes *really* minimized rope drag.

Mid way through the alternative pitch two described before. Here is where the route crosses the water groove. If the groove is wet you can still cross without getting wet.
Looking up the 1st pitch of The Pulpit.

At the anchors on top of the first pitch.
After three pitches of climbing, the Oasis is a great spot for resting your feet and enjoying a snack.

Variation of pitch two that is 5.9 and trends up and right that crosses the water groove with a rock that is not wet. You end up in the flakes 40 feet below oasis. I would advise this pitch only if you are okay with runout.
