Steeper Than Stone Mountain

Just a really fine longer two pitch style line that for the grade is great fun with fantastic exposure and stances to enjoy the experience.

Start the climb either in the corner or 6' to the left and find your sequence up the face. Pull past the initial first steep section with caution as it’s unprotected via a slip or if a hold breaks and be on the lookout once your 4-5 moves in for not so obvious cam placements for your first piece. Continue up the corner to an obvious bulge where you have to make the decision to go distinctly left for Sex Toys or distinctly right for Steeper Than Stone. For Steeper Than Stone Mountain start trending right and climb underneath and around a steep overhang before taking a fairly straight shot up the remainder of the 150’ pitch. You can also do this in two pitches if you’re worried about rope drag but a single pitch is plenty doable if you are conscious of not zig zagging your rope line and use long runners where necessary. The route terminates under the lowest right hand corner of the Sky-Net Wall. Here you will find ring anchors underneath a small low roof. 

To descend: Rap straight down off of these rings  to the ground if you have a full 70m. Otherwise rap for 80’ to a small ledge with a medium size tree growing on it. The first one down should be mindful of possible falling debris as the second descends. The easiest way to be protected is by walking east 10’ feet along the ledge to the other side of the tree where you are under a bit of an overhang. It’s from this point where you will also see the anchors for the second 50’ rappel to the ground.

 From ground level, walk downhill through the gully to the main trail beneath the Cookbook. 

Cams of all sizes including micros

Same start as Sex Toys For Grandma. From where the trail hits the bottom corner of the Cookbook at its lowest ground level in front of the cliff, walk right (east) and up the short staircase/corridor for 25' along the base of the cliff which dead ends into a corner at the top of the path.
