Description Suggest change

Devil's Racetrack is a formation of two rock 'fins' that stick out of the side of the mountains along side of I-75 just North of the 134 exit in Caryville. They are all very solid rock, nothing is very brittle, but the thing you have to look for is vegetation. Moss is really bad on several spots. Other than that the rock is spectacular. Great views on top of great climbs. The bolts are all really well placed, and anchors are very solid. The approach trail is a tad steep in some spots, so be careful if its wet out. The routes range from 5.3 to 5.9 on trad and 5.8 to 5.11 on sport. So there is stuff for everyone.

Getting There Suggest change

Take exit 134 on I-75. From there drive to Cove Lake State Park. Go past the entrance to the park, and take the next left. Follow this road until it intersects Butter and Egg Road. Continue through the intersection. After about a quarter of a mile, you'll see a New house with a RED TIN ROOF. Turn left down the gravel road directly BEFORE this house. After less than a minute, you'll see a gravel road on the right blocked off with big boulders. Park here, and hike up the gravel road parallel to the creek for several minutes until you see a easy place to cross the creek to your right. The creek splits into two small streams where the crossing is. Also look for a small gully across, this it where the path goes. Once you cross the creek follow the paths up 50 steps and then veer right up a minor gully to the nose of the main spire. Don't continue up the main gully or its steeper and harder to get to. Everything to the left of the nose is the north face, everything to the right is the Alley.
