Access Issue: Climbing Permit Needed-Seasonal Raptor Closure Details

Typically Mid-February Tallulah Gorge will temporarily close the wall to rock climbing to protect nesting Peregrine Falcons. Climbing is expected to resume this June once the chicks fledge.
For details visit: gastateparks.org/TallulahGorge

Climbers must stop at the park's visitor center to obtain a climbing permit.

Climbing access is not allowed during whitewater releases and aesthetic water releases.

For water release schedule and further information please check the park's website, gastateparks.org/TallulahGorge.

Description

Steep slab wall downstream of main wall. Sunny most of the day except early morning. Rock is of good quality. This area sees little traffic. All routes single pitch, but double rope rap needed on longer routes.

Getting There

Same approach as Main Face. Continue following trail until it ends just past the Diagonal. Then bushwack another 100 yards or so looking uphill for the big slab
