Trip: KY/TN/NC - Good times, great oldies

 

Date: 4/8/2012

 

Trip Report:

Since leaving my beloved Cascades for the East Coast, I’ve been getting into this whole “cragging” thing. I’ll take an alpine summit anyday, but hitting the cliffs for some convenient pitches sure is fun. Here are some shots from “local” crags we’ve checked out the last few months.

 

Tennessee Wall

Near Chattanooga, TN. 95% Trad, 100% Cool

King’s Bluff, TN

 

My new local crag, this beauty sits about ten miles from the house. Mostly sport, few trad gems. Last Saturday, Ben and I climbed 26 routes here. Good local challenge, done in Luke Gullberg’s memory (who was 26 when he passed away on Mt Hood).

Linville Gorge, NC

 

This place is the heat! Check out Table Rock for accessible 2-4 pitch routes, and The Amphitheater for inaccessible 3-5 pitch routes. Found a new favorite East Coast route on The Daddy, 5.6.
