I've heard rumors about deep water soloing at Lake Nickajack. My father lives in Scottsboro, AL on the AL/TN line and i'm always looking for relief from the doldrums of summer in the South. Any beta would be great. Thanks.

There oughtta be! I just wonder how many miles of cliffband you'd have to scout to find it. Isn't there a good topo available? I wonder if it's that plateau level is too far above it though.

What if there's another T-wall lurking just above the surface...

Interesting, I've never heard of anything like that at Nickajack. But I'll check around and let you know if I find out anything.

Isn't that crag called Europa that Jerry R. developed around there? Supposedly chipped-all-to-hell limestone sportiness.

It's mostly Chris Chesnutt that developed Europa (right on Nickajack/24) from my understanding.

Look in the last issue of Urban Climber, it has a local dws'ing at Nickajack...I call him "Centerfold" now.

None of this has been helpful what so ever, lol. Any directions or landmarks that I should look for would be really helpful. Somebody please spray me down!
