Predator Wall

Tennessee > Castle Rock

Description

Tall, orange, and proud, this South-facing wall is what you see from Jasper. The climbs tend to be technical down low and increase in steepness and difficulty as you go higher. The routes range from 5.12a the 5.13a.

Getting There

From the parking area, follow the trail up and right along the hill. Head left off the trail when you see the tall, striking orange wall.

Approach is about 12 minutes.

[Hide Comment] Yes, that's Funemployed. I found the painted rock with the route name on it while I was working on the trail last weekend. On that note, it appears I left a purple mytho at the base... if anyone found it, I'd love to get it back. Apr 30, 2018
