Description
Collection of toprope face climbs with newer bolts on each route. All routes are north facing.
Getting There
Obtain climbing passes ($3) at the Sawnee Mountain Visitor Center (4075 Spot Rd, Cumming, GA 30040). For the shortest approach, drive to the Bettis Entrance (2500 Bettis Tribble Gap Rd) and follow the Indian Seats Trail north for about 1 mile to the overlook platform.
The scramble to the bottom will be on the north side of a large boulder to the west of the overlook platform. The trail heads east, then quickly switches back west and arrives at the middle ledge with a couple of climbs. Continue past the middle ledge and scramble down one more switchback to reach the lower area.
