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!

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

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.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
