I need a partner for Stone Mountain this weekend. I'd like to do The Great Arch. Ideally, I'd like someone who can swing leads on it with me, but I'd take a competent second as well. I'm based in Charlotte right now.

Thanks!

I wish I could get down there! It's five hours away. Some friends and I are going to be down there for a planned trip the beginning of May. The Arch is awesome for the grade. The best .5 I've ever done and the scenery is awesome. Have you done it before?

Indeed I have, and a fun climb it is; enough so that I want to do it again!

If you've never been on No Alternative, it's great. Even at that grade, no holds slab and no pro for 75 feet is fun in a load-in-shorts kinda way. To me, half the fun is in the routes getting up to the tree ledge. Have fun Bowens.

There's pro in there. I don't think I went more than 25' without getting in a small piece or two in an eyebrow.

Heh, there are placements, I guess, but since I don't believe for a second that they'd hold a fall, I wouldn't call them "pro!"

Haha. I had some luck with the white and black tricams. I probably wouldn't trust much else shoved in there, though.
