Access Issue: Climbing Permit Needed-Seasonal Raptor Closure Details

Typically Mid-February Tallulah Gorge will temporarily close the wall to rock climbing to protect nesting Peregrine Falcons. Climbing is expected to resume this June once the chicks fledge.
For details visit: gastateparks.org/TallulahGorge

Climbers must stop at the park's visitor center to obtain a climbing permit.

Climbing access is not allowed during whitewater releases and aesthetic water releases.

For water release schedule and further information please check the park's website, gastateparks.org/TallulahGorge.

Description

Climb the obvious crack/offwidth system. It's got some techy face climbing, stemming, chimneying, and then the crux offwidth. It's got it all!

Watch for large loose rocks in the alcove. Probably best to have your belayer under Solstitude to better see the climber and be out of the line of fire of any rock fall. Anything that falls out will go right down the gully and all the way to the gorge floor.

Location

Go downhill and right around the corner from the right side of the Slab Wall. Look for the obvious crack/offwidth feature

Protection

2 bolt anchor - Takes a good amount of gear. Cams to #6. Offsets and some doubles will be useful

The #4 is probably mandatory to protect the crux (could use 2 on the route) . The #6 is optional depending on your head for running it out in the offwidth above the crux

Make sure to leave directionals that will keep the follower on the right side of the arete and in the alcove. Otherwise if they fall they will swing out into space. Really the same deal for TR
