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: Shortoff Mountain South - Falcon Closure Lifted for 2021 Details

Description

The nice looking corner at the bottom of the decent gully frequently overlooked but is actually really fun, fun corner climbing for 80ft then onto the face for a bit and pop one upper crux onto the big pine ledge

P2 straight up the jug infested wall walk off right of big roof

This is an excellent line if you are just trying to add some pitches to your day, easy access, top out is basically level with the stash spot in the decent gully, walk left through some bushes at the top.
