Location: NC : Stone Mountain : Stone Mountain South Face : Grand Funk Railroad (5.9-)

Location: NC : Stone Mountain : Stone Mountain South Face : No Alternative (5.5 PG13)

In reality there are 2-3 overhangs that will take a wide range of gear from micro-cams to #1 C4 cams. You are really never more than 25' out from your last piece if you bring a light rack. Not as scary as we were led to believe.

Location: NC : Stone Mountain : Stone Mountain South Face : Entrance Crack (5.4 R)
