Looking to climb pulpit out at Stone. Just wondering if there is some local beta out there, or any pointers. Where is it in reference to the arch/ u slot? I’ve been out there one time to climb(last week) and know where the great arch is, and that’s it. Thanks in advance!

Also, if you happen to have pics of the first pitch from bottom up that would be much appreciated.

Well my first bit of beta would be to wait until it cools off. The south face of Stone is a frying pan this time of year and unlike the Great Arch there is no shade to be had on the Pulpit at any time of day. Now as to the rest it's pretty easy to find. It starts maybe 20 feet to the right of the Tree Ledge which you would have had to reach to get to the Arch. Head up a flake to the first bolt. Clip it and traverse right another 15 feet or so and follow the bolt line up. It's pretty well protected for Stone and has some fun climbing on it.

This thing Is quite the wandering route. Left the topo in my truck when climbing it by myself and route finding wasn't easy.
