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
This is an exceptionally lovely spot. Being on the northside and below the tree canopy it tends to stay cooler for summer climbing. The rock is a textured granite with a tight grain that I found to be very climbable in humid weather. There are more mosquitoes than LG usually has. There are plenty of moderate problems but lots of hard stuff.
NOTE- My motivation is to share this area with other climbers. I don't know the FA's, proper route names, and consensus grades for the boulders. Some of these will be guesses so if you have better information than me try and keep it together and just send me a message and I'll change what I have.
