Comments: Beware of the potential for a rope slicing pendulum if the second falls in the crux.

Comments: Thanks for adding, it is really pretty fun. Except the top, climbed it this fall, I to decided to head right, might have made it look like the way to go by clearing vegetation. Upon reflection and looking at a guide book, the route is meant to head left after the roof, so as fun as the jugs going straight up are, trend left. Done correctly it might be fun the whole time.

Comments: I think it works well as three pitches

Comments: well worth the hike. if you decide to descend the gully after topping out then it is much easier to climb back out on "The Prow" as opposed to hiking back up the gully.

Comments: Hardest 5.5 at table rock, with more strenuous gear placements than it's sister routes. I would make the sketchy rappel at pitch 2 on the fixed pins instead of topping out so you can easily access more routes!

Comments: the 5.9 direct finish of pitch 2 is quite fun. Traverse right at the 2nd pitch anchors and you can pick up on the pitch 2 anchors of Jim Dandy. as far as easy one move wonders go, this one is fun. The first pitch is a great first trad lead and can be done with a set of stoppers.

Comments: First pitch is 5.5, 2nd Pitch is 5.3. The 3rd pitch that is described is actually called Block Route, 5.5, and it is an excellent pitch. This can be led as a sport route with significant run-outs on pitch 2 over easy terrain.

Location: NC : Linville Gorge : Table Rock : Second Stanza (5.8+)

Comments: good route. 1st pitch felt as hard as the second. Make sure you are up for the task before tackling the first pitch, definitely some no-fall zones up there (maybe not ground fall, but an ugly fall all the same). The fixed gear that protects the crux on pitch 3 seems sketchy, I would back it up.

Comments: onsite solo. a good route for the beginning multipitch leader who has become bored with Jim Dandy, Peek-a-boo, Cave Route, and North Ridge.

Comments: best route i have climbed at table rock. some people feel that 5.8 is a bit stiff for the grade, but I think if you take the time to look around and know how to stem, this route can easily be 5.8. gear is ample and bomber.

Comments: On the approach trail: In order to walk to the top of Shortoff, you need to take a 90 degree right hand turn about 1/4 mile down the trail that comes off the back of the parking lot. After taking this turn, follow the trail up the switchbacks. After another 1/2 mile, there is a four-way intersection. Continue straight across on the Mountain to Sea trail, blazed white. Another 1/4 mile will lead to the obvious spring and descent gully.
If you miss the 90 degree right turn 1/4 mile along the... more >>

Comments: Amazing climb! More technical and committing than Dopey Duck, with full exposure throughout. Not to be missed.
It is possible to climb this route in two mega-pitches. P1: climb the right facing dihedral & angle right to an arete. Climb to the highest ledge just before the orange streak begins (60m). P2: climb the past the crux move under the large flake, angle right towards an arete and pull a few roofs up to a slot that leads to trees ledge (45m). Easy scramble off above.
