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

Start on the weakness on the right side and get established on the slab. Head up the right side of the slab with the wall on your right until the slab runs out. Face right and move up the notch / roof / chimney thing (crux). Two bolt anchor on your left as you stand on a wide flat area. Watch for rope drag if you sling things too short in the crux

If you rap straight down from the anchor (and not the route) a 60m rope will just reach the ground. Could likely TR with a 70m

Really a fun route and is the easiest route at the Slab Wall. Actual slab climbing is involved and the crux exit is an exciting change up.

On a historical note. We found an old single bolt with a quick link below the crux. It would appear that the original FA did this as a two pitch climb or a two pitch rap or both.
