Climbing in the South

For those who haven't already noticed, I wanted to let everyone know that southern climbing areas are getting added to the routes database on Mountain Project. North Carolina and Tennessee have been added to the Destinations page, with great areas like Linville Gorge (NC) and Tennessee Wall getting populated with routes. Georgia, Kentucky and Virginia are also being developed, and Alabama will be coming soon.

If you've never climbed in the south, you might be pleasantly surprised at what we've got down here. And the best part is that the season never ends — even in the coldest time of year, there's somewhere you can get on the rock without freezing.

If you have done any southern climbing, I hope you'll consider adding what you know to the routes database. I'm especially grateful for the recent contributions of Bob Rotert, who was one of the early first ascentionists in North Carolina back in the '70s.

Man I miss Shuford's!

I miss the River's Inn more than Shuford's. They can cook a decent steak!
Sax, I'm going to try to gradually add some routes when I get more time. So far, I've been concentrating on getting at least one photo of routes I actually have pics for.

Stopped in there around Christmas and stuffed my fat little face full of pulled pork, under the gaze of the Bear. Yummmm.

I bet you miss Yum Yum's, too. That was the nastiest yet tastiest place I've ever eaten.

Shuford's is hard to beat after a long day at T-Wall. I've never had their turkey legs, I should try one next time.
