Crags b/w Austin & NYC where a 35m rope wouldn't be useless?

I know, I know. Not likely, but thought I'd ask. I bought a 35m rope because I often bike to the wall, so it's easier to transport. Is there anywhere on the general diagonal route between Austin and New York that this would work?

That's a pretty far bike ride from Austin to NY, no?

just splice with a tag line to lower, you'll be fine

Unfortunately, I will be driving...but the 35m rope is all I got...

Austin has reimers ranch and the greenbelt. Beautiful limestone everywhere with nothing above 35 feet.

Horseshoe Canyon Ranch has a bunch o climbs between 10 & 15m, sticky sandstone, and lots of good people that would share their rope with you. If you can afford to drive there from TX, just save the gas and buy a 60m rope.

Locally, Lake Mineral Wells or something like that in mid Texas had some short climbs. Neat area.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
