Description Suggest change

All climbing west of the Triangle but east of Boone and Morganton. Mainly includes areas that are the closest to large population centers and generally is located off of a major highway. Expect crowds on the weekends because of this.

Getting There Suggest change

Most of the climbing is located near Winston-Salem and Charlotte.
