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
Great variety and quality of climbing. Start on flakes with good hands to an obvious undercling near the first and second bolt, then straight up to a palm slapping slab. Before getting to the roof, you can place a .75 cam under a flake to kill the runout. Mantel the roof at a bolt right of Mettle Detector. Take the crystal filled balancy moves up the steep face passing 2 more bolts to a set of rap anchors.
Location
To find the Far Right Side of the Cereal Wall, hike past the Cereal Buttress following a trail inbetween two large boulders. Follow this trail to the 75 foot toproping boulder about 100 yards ahead. Head up the gully to the left of the boulder. This route is to the right of Mettle Detector and left of Angell Falls, heading over the roof band on the right side. Start at mossy flakes following bolts.
