Access Issue: Post Hurricane Helene Accessibility of Crags Details

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 a small climbing area located just to the climbers right of the lookout tower descent gully, between the amphitheater and the Central Wall. It is broken into two sections that are about 100' apart: Razors Edge Arete and Dog and Pony Wall.
Razors Edge Arete is an obvious feature just off the main trail. The longest established route here, Relapse, is located on the inside right face of the arete.
Dog and Pony is a small tucked away area, located 30' above the base of the cliff and 100' right of the arete.

All of the climbing in this area is short, steep and powerful and should be taken seriously as the business tends to start quickly and close to the ground.

Getting There

From the amphitheater, walk past the tower descent trail/gully and the first feature you'll come to on your left will be the overhaung arete. Another 100' down the trail and 30' up from the base of the cliff will be the Dog and Pony wall. Boulder straight up to the wall or walk up the tower descent trail and skirt the cliff top to scamper down a slab to the base of the buttress. Neither one is recommended following a rain, as bad run off makes both approaches very hazardous for a few days.
