Please respect surrounding private property. MORE INFO >>>
Though the Jamestown crag is owned by the Southeastern Climbers Coalition, access to the cliff passes through privately-owned land. The landowners in the valley have been gracious enough to grant this right-of-way, so the SCC asks that all climbers be respectful of these property owners' privacy.
Additionally, the land above the cliffline as well as the land past the end of the SCC property is owned by private landowners, many of whom are hostile to climbers. Do not top out on the cliff under any circumstances. Do not climb in areas that are plainly marked off limits, and do not go past the sign at the end of the SCC property (about where the route Cinnamon Girl is located).
There is no camping allowed at Jamestown. The nearest camping is in DeSoto State Park near Fort Payne.

Description
An excellent crack lead that will have you pickin' your pro carefully and grinnin' when you reach the anchors. As the Dixie Cragger's Atlas says, this route is much nicer than it looks from down at the sopping wet wall below the ledge where it starts.
From the far left end of the ledge, climb a well-protected vertical crack to the top. Sustained and reachy in places. For more grinnin', start instead at ground level by climbing the first part of Bishop of Krunk and make a tricky traverse right under a roof to the ledge above the water seepage, then continue up the crack.
Location
Starts at the left end of a ledge above the main trail, just to the right of the start of Bishop of Krunk and above a perenially wet wall. Access the ledge at its right end via a ramp system with a bolt.
Protection
Small to medium gear (cams, tricams, nuts). Bolted anchors.
