Stone Groove. This two-pitch route follows a vertical crack between the Rorp and Independent Pinnacle. Jim Bridwell and I climbed it in May. The crux is a finger jam in a dihedral 20 feet above the ground and the rest of the pitch continues jamming. The second lead is a short F8 squeeze chimney leading to a ledge at the top of the slab. NCCS II F10.
