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!

Access Issue: NO TOP ACCESS
Details
Absolutely no top access in this area. Do not climb over the fence. Do not top out and walk off. All climbers should access climbs from the ground then lower off or rappel from anchors when cleaning the route. The top of the Ground Up area is inside a fence designed to deny access to the top of the cliff. Park staff allow new route development, but only for routes that do not top out. As new routes are developed in this area the anchors will be located so that they cannot be easily reached from the top of the cliff.
Description
This is now a fully-equipped sport route (bolted with permission from the first ascent party) with 10 bolts and a 2-bolt anchor. Climb starts below a giant, dead pine tree and follows an obvious corner and crack system straight to the tree. This was originally a well-protected, but slightly chossy trad lead. The middle section of the climb is slightly overhung, and the crux includes an exhilarating step across the gap between two walls. Also take note: the rock in this section of the cliff tends to be fragile, so be extra cautious and be sure your belayer wears a helmet.
