Climbing Near Helen, Georgia

This picturesque area sees little traffic; possibly due to the rugged hike required to see it and somewhat remote location. Has every hold imaginable.You can access the top of the face by scrambling around to the left or right, then hugging the wall up a sloping area. The top has three sets of anchors, with three bolts each, that are 7-10 ft back from the edge. There are also rappel rings at the top of routes out on the face.If you're looking for a warm-up rappel for beginners, there is a smaller boulder (10-15 ft high) to the left of the main face here, which can be set up with some of the large trees as natural anchors. Take the main trail from the parking lot. Go up main trail past the bridge, 3 staircases, switchback, and mid-trail boulders. Continue up from the helipad toward the Main Face. After a few steep inclines start looking for a faint trail to your right. This trail will dead end you into this massive rock. If you hit the gravel road with the gate that runs to the top of the mountain you have gone too far.

Short, steep, small wall on the way to the Main Face. Definitely worth a visit. Follow signs to Main Face. Look for a short steep wall on the left just before the approach slabs for Main Face.

Somebody probably has a better name for this area, but the headwalls above the slabs of the northeast side of yonah offer some of the best concentration of good problems on yonah. This small area has a number of problems with lots of variety. some of the problems can seep in times of defrost or periods of heavy rain. It's a hefty hike with 1100 feet elevation gain to get to these boulders. There is some more potential bouldering further down along the cliffline of the headwall. There's another nice headwall feature with good potential for bouldering about 200 yards northeast of the army camp downhill. There's a little more stuff further downhill. From the army camp near the top of the mountain, take the small trail that goes sharply uphill towards the top of the mountain. When you intersect with a dirt road, go uphill and left on this road. In about 100 yards, the dirt road will curve to the right. look for a old rotten log on your left at this point and walk along it and along a faint trail to the boulders about 200 feet away
