Access Issue: New route development is prohibited in the Daniel Boone National Forest. Details

fs.usda.gov/activity/dbnf/r…

Follow existing trails and climb using removable protection or in climbing areas with existing approved fixed anchors or bolts. Development of any new rock climbing, bouldering or rappelling areas and development of any climbing routes involving the permanent installation of new fixed anchors or new trail construction requires prior Forest Service authorization.

Description

A small assortment of crack climbs, mostly 'easier' or at least that's what the grade says. Routes are located on either side of the cliffline straddling the D.Boone hut rock shelter and niter mine.

Getting There

Follow Tunnel Ridge Rd. to the Gray's Arch parking area, but park at the end of the loop there where the D.Boone Hut trailhead parking is marked. Hike the D.Boone Hut trail (#209) down the stairs, over a bridge, and along the cliffline until it cuts up left straight to the wall. Most of the routes are located left of where the approach meets the cliff, but the other two are on the right side of the huge, fenced-in rock shelter where the niter mine remnants are.
