Description

This is a small but very convenient spot on the west side of the gorge with a handful of routes and a very easy approach. At only 5 minutes from the car, it can easily be combined with other stuff in the area (there are many micro crags) or just accessed for a short day if you're in the area. This is also a popular camping area, as there is a large cave-like formation to camp in.

Getting There

Park at the Conley Cove trailhead, approximately 6 miles south of Linville Falls on Kistler Memorial Highway.(~ 2 miles south of Wiseman's View).

Hike down the trail less than 5 minutes to the first outcropping on the right. This is essentially the beginning of the Gold Coast Band, although not technically included in that section.
