Description
One of the best summer crags in the southeast before around 2PM when it comes into the sun due to the elevation and shade. The cliff doesn't get any sun in winter. Most of the routes here go through a low roof then up excellent slightly less than vertical granite for the rest of the route. The cliff receives an oddly low amount of traffic for a cliff this good which is probably due to a combination of the difficulty of the routes (mostly 5.11+ and up), the long approach (almost as long as laurel knob's), and often dirty and/or runout climbing.
