T-wall/Foster's/Obed Beta

Way more cold weather options than T-Wal. Castle Rock is amazing. Laurel Falls is south facing and impeccable rock (better than T-Wall). Plenty of Fosters gets sun too. Options in the Canyon also get all day sun.

Thanks for the positive vibes guys! Maybe you were reading my mind today as I looked at the Chat forecast (14 degrees or whatever) and then was driving to work with the thermometer reading 3 degrees?

Hoping Mike is right about the 35 degree thing...we may well get to test out that assertion!

Time will tell. May be using more of the brewery beta than the climbing beta! Any good climbing gyms in town? :)

High Point Climbing and Fitness just opened last month. Just finishing up the main bouldering room. Great facility, full service as well.

Also think about Tieranny Wall at the Obed as a cold weather option. It will be perfect there as well.

Hi all,

We (the OP and pals) got back from our Chat trip a few days ago, just a few observations...
-The T wall really is an amazing place, we're all psyched to go back!
-In the end we brought our 70's instead of our 60's and were glad that we did...while there wasn't a case where we would have been shut down from doing a climb by having a 60, there were numerous times where we would have been quite close to the end of a 60 and were glad not to have to think about that. Also, there were several times when we traversed to pick up an anchor at the top of an adjacent climb to toprope it, and that would have been tight/impossible for some of the routes. There was never a time when we found the extra rope annoying. YMMV.
-We'd all strenuously disagree with the idea that Aretha Frankenstein's is overrated...that place rules!
-We rented an airbnb in North Chat and that worked out super well.
-Mellow Mushroom (downtown)makes some awesome pizza!
-Lastly, EVERYONE we met in Chat and in Nashville was just incredibly nice. As cynical New Yorkers, we kept waiting to figure out what their angle was, but nope, they're just really nice folks.

Cheers,
David

Thanks for observations. Glad you had a good time.
Saw your post about iron deposits. I've seen amazing iron pipes (some round and some hexagonal, all natural) in the sandstone cliffs of Big South Fork (in TN). Those iron crimpers are bomber.

Y'all come back now, y'hear!
