Description:
Probably the easiest of the 10 or so routes to the Tree Ledge, Block Route has good pro where it's most useful and easy climbing in the runout sections. A bolted belay halfway up makes it possible to split into two pitches, but it's easy enough to do it in one long pitch with a 60-meter rope.Starting at the left end of the approach apron (almost directly under the Great Arch), follow seams and a grassy vertical crack up past a belay station at a small tree. Continue up a section with no pro to a blocky corner. At the top of the corner, make a big move up and right onto the block and continue up to the Tree Ledge.
Descent Options:
Rap (two ropes) from U Slot rap rings.

Same As Usual
Nothing to really say. I brought along a friend's son for his first time at Stone and started him on the easy stuff. Even in approach shoes, this is a very easy climb. Nice to be back though.

Practice
We are practicing for something that is coming up and this is one of six single pitch climbs I lead today. In reality, you can just about walk up this route. I place a draw in one of the belay rings and a single cam at the Block move but no other protection. I do highly recommend this climb for beginners. It was hot and humid but still a fun day.
