Description
Hanging Chain has some of the best (only) crack climbing in North Carolina. Perched way up over Hickory Nut Gorge, this pumpy route is a classic and likely the best crack of it's grade in N.C.
The route begins with some do not fall territory that leads to sustained and often heads up crack and face climbing. Be on the lookout for a thin section at the top of the crack section. The route changes character near the top for some enjoyable and technical face climbing. Technical and thin moves near the top could make for a heartbreaking finish.
