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: ABSOLUTELY NO TOP ROPING ALLOWED IN THE COPPER TOP AREA.
Details
The park is supportive of changing all of the routes to sport routes, but meanwhile they do not want any top routing in this area.
Description
This is a thin face route with OK fingers and sketchy feet. To keep it in the 5.10 range, zig a little to left after the second bolt, then zag back right past the 3rd bolt and get sucked into the obvious Black Hole. Another zig left past the 4th bolt and a zag right takes you to the 5th bolt. From there climb larger holds to the anchors.
