Order at www.grounduppublishing.com. The goal here was to show off NC climbing culture and community that has sprouted after 55 years of climbing in the region. We hope a comprehensive book like this will help spread people out and help pay homage to the fantastic routes and climbing visionaries. Looking Glass (7 previously unpublished areas), Cedar (several unpublished areas), John (never before published), 215 Area ice, and much more. 400+ full color pages, hand drawn topos, maps, etc.
