Access Issue: Post Hurricane Helene Accessibility of Crags Details

The CCC has created the list linked below of accessible and inaccessible climbing areas with some caveats. If you decide to head out for a day of climbing, please do not attempt to go to those marked ‘inaccessible’. Please note that all areas in WNC will have extensive tree damage and if you head out, use extra caution for all the trees above, especially on a windy day. Rock fall potential is also highest after a big weather event. Please use extra caution while climbing and prepare to self rescue if injured. Injury response time will be greatly limited for any injury currently, especially for a remote injury. Cell service is limited in all areas. Parking at accessible crags in the WNC/ Upstate SC region will likely be challenging. If the parking lot is full, go to a different area and do not park illegally or in a road. Make a plan B before leaving your house. Expect road detours on the way to the crag. NCdrive.gov updates road closures. Once you get to the crag, expect many trees blocking access trails and of course, come volunteer with the CCC to help us bring our climbing areas back!

Description

A small remote boulder field with a handful of interesting lines, not really a climbing destination but maybe a area to camp with some boulders nearby

Getting There

From Balsam Lake Recreation area, drive west on Charleys Creek rd. through Parker Gap, passing Neddie mountain, then turn right onto forest service road 4649, go straight past the one right hand turn on this road, its too steep for most vehicles any way, the boulders are near the small creek valleys, if you get to sugar creek gap, a meadow with a small grove of large pine trees and camp spot you have gone too far. Driving in the boulders will be uphill on your right.
