The CCC has created the list linked below of accessible and inaccessible climbing areas with some caveats. If you decide to head out for a day of climbing, please do not attempt to go to those marked ‘inaccessible’. Please note that all areas in WNC will have extensive tree damage and if you head out, use extra caution for all the trees above, especially on a windy day. Rock fall potential is also highest after a big weather event. Please use extra caution while climbing and prepare to self rescue if injured. Injury response time will be greatly limited for any injury currently, especially for a remote injury. Cell service is limited in all areas. Parking at accessible crags in the WNC/ Upstate SC region will likely be challenging. If the parking lot is full, go to a different area and do not park illegally or in a road. Make a plan B before leaving your house. Expect road detours on the way to the crag. NCdrive.gov updates road closures. Once you get to the crag, expect many trees blocking access trails and of course, come volunteer with the CCC to help us bring our climbing areas back!

Description
Tucked away boulders near the dam at University Lake. Rock can be slick, but real solid. Spiders galore.
Getting There
From Tar Hill Drive, take the trail beyond dumpsters and immediately take the left hand trail that follows the creek. Stay close to the bank and do not go near the house.
Skirt along the hills next to the creek for a quarter mile until it flattens out into a beautiful forested floodplain. Follow the trail for another quarter mile to reach Spiderqueen and Mad Dog.
From the rest of the boulders, follow the trail heading west along the creek for ~ 800m (0.5 mi). Cut down to the creek just before reaching the dam and look for the old train trestle.
