Linville Gorge, Rocky Face, or elsewhere in the Carolinas 5/8ish

On a bike trip (currently climbing at RRG) from Chicago to Columbia and plan on passing through Linville Gorge. I have just shoes, harness, & grigri on me and would love to stop for a day to sport climb with someone who has the rest of the gear we'd need and prioritizes safety. I can usually lead up to around 10a outdoors, but happy to catch you on your project of any grade!

I can most likely reroute to hit Rocky Face Recreation Area instead. If there's another crag that seems like it might be on my way feel free to hit me up about that too.

Hey Art,

I'm potentially looking for a climbing partner for the last weekend of May, the weekend of memorial day. Will you still be in NC then?

No, I will be in the Carbondale, IL area if you're interested in climbing there instead lol
