hey NC folks. i'm visiting brevard this weekend for a wedding, and hoping to get a couple of days of climbing in on sunday/monday. it sounds like looking glass rock is right nearby and has some goods?

if anyone is interested in helping out, i'm hoping not to buy a book for just 2 days of climbing (i know, lame . . . ). if anyone would be alright emailing me a few topos for selected routes, lending a guidebook, or meeting up for some cragging that would be awesome. lead trad in the 9 to low 10s.

thanks!

for those grades i would head to the south face and nose areas. Both have excellent beta on this site, but i can scan a file if you want. There is a group meeting up to boulder on the north face Sunday afternoon i believe too. I'd stop buy Looking Glass Outfitters and check in with Eric of Phil. They'll have the 411.

I may be up there, unsure yet.

The south side will be ridiculously hot.

check out the nose area for sure. the nose, peregrine, sundial crack are all good climbs in this area. in the morning or evening do rat's ass on the south face.

check on this website for good route beta.

expect a lot of slabby climbing, placing pro in eyebrows. bring 2 ropes... extra water... insect spray. stick in the shade.

good luck.
