Description 

The lowers was bolted by the Army for training and they painted numbers under the routes. The bolting is excessive to a climber and some of the routes can be climbed with mixed gear.It doesn't offer views like the Main Face, but it is better protected during windy winter days. It offers some decent climbs and is worth checking out. The routes are numbered left to right.


Getting There 

Once you reach the large clearing (Heli pad) on the way up to the main face there will be a trail with a sign to the right, follow it to the lowers.

Short climb in a small chimney on the far left of the lowers. There is a large flake on the right and several small ledges on the left to get started. It can be led or toproped. It's a good route to learn how to lead on....[more]   Browse More Classics in GA
