Access Issue: Closed due to flood damage Details

Severe flood damage in August of 2023 has led to the full closure of the area. Updates posted at gomtcharleston.com/spring-m…

Description

Short, bouldery route consisting of massive spans between generously drilled pockets. Culminates in a final big move (dyno) just below the hueco, with easy climbing from the last bolt to the anchors.

Not a classic of the crag, but worth getting on if you enjoy big moves and pocket pulling.

Location

Start where the trail starts to go downhill. There is a large hole in the rock and a bush on the right.

Protection

5 bolts, anchors
