The base of Stone Mountain, these are some of the routes to the Tree Ledge.
You're never too young or too old to slab climb!

Climber Joe starting U-slot.
U slot from the approach scramble.
The rope shows the basic line you want to take when climbing u-slot. Note the black center mark on my 70m rope. It's a good 20 to 30 feet up.

Having fun on U Slot
Follow the rope line for the route we climbed on U-slot. He climbed through the low spot between the two ropes.
Climber Joe on U-slot.
Plugging a piece before pulling the "slot".
A good view of the arete/flake before the slight runout.
Another line up U-Slot. A bit run out between the top of the arete/corner and the roof but there's at least two bomber good pieces before you pull through the slot and one just below the overlap.
