Description

This is a roadside crag with access newly acquired by the Central Appalachia Climbers Coalition. It is still brand new and under development. Town rules to come soon. If you go up there please DO NOT block the road as the town needs access to the water plant above. Check back for more info soon.

Getting There

From the Town of Appalachia head towards Save-a-lot. From the parking lot, cross the railroad tracks onto Kilbourne Ave. Follow that until it dead ends and turn left onto Brown St. Stay right on Woodland Ave. and keep taking the right forks as you head up into the Ben's Branch Hollow. Park all the way at the top of the hill in the pull off in the turn.
