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

Standard Stone Mountain runout friction climbing.

P1 - 120' with 3 bolts and bolted anchors. Getting to the 1st bolt at 30-40' off the ground is the crux of the route. Climbing moderates some after 1st bolt.

P2 - 120' with 2 bolts and bolted anchors. 5.9ish to 2nd bolt, 5.8ish after. Continue up or rap here.

P3 - 100' with no bolts (or some old bolts to climber's right just below a large shelf) and gear anchor, 5.8ish. The most likely line aims at some large dyke features to left side of a large shelf. These could be slung for protection, but not really much point by then as it 5.5ish by then. Just above the large shelf on the left side is large block and small pine for gear anchor.

P4 - 100'+ of lower angle rock. Choose your route up.

Location

Keep heading climber's right along the base, pass the Grand Funk dykes, then downhill. Pass the dark and mossy water streak of Brown Sugar to a low area, then up small rise. Locate double bolts about 30' off the ground just on the left side of the small rise.
