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
A decent route if you're in the area. This route could use a little TLC. It's technically a little harder that Chromium Chain but not quite as pumpy. The gear is tricky, but just (barely) good enough -- although the old bolt really needs to be replaced. Slider nuts would probably protect the thin seam below the bolt better than the brass I used.
Climb the obvious left facing corner past thin gear and a bolt to a stance near the top at a good jug and a semi-hollow block. The gear (.5 camelot) in the block is probably fine but certainly gives pause to those last roofy moves -- which are luckily easier than they look.
