Foundation Area

Tennessee > Laurel Snow Sta… > Dayton Pocket/L… > Trail Split Area

Description

A secluded spot along the raging waters. This area is home to a bunch of awesome problems in the V1-V3 range, and one singular double-digit problem that climbs a tall roof feature. "Foundation" V11 is the giant triangular roof feature that rests several yards above the river.

Getting There

From the Aluminum bridge and the trail split, take the left trail and hike about 10 minutes before cutting down the hill to the left towards the river, or
from the Western Gold Boulder follow the trail another two minutes until some large rocks can be somewhat visible down and to the left of the trail. There used to be a trail leading to this set of boulders, but a large tree has fallen, blocking the faint trail. A switchback should be re-established to avoid hard erosion off the steep hill.
