I am already planning a trip for Glass Menagerie and am also interested in attentional options that are considered the best aid routes in the Southeast. Let em rip!

You could spend a lot of time at the North Side of Looking Glass. It all really depends on your aiding ability and level of commitment.

Agreed. North Side of LG has probably the best concentration of aid routes with easy access. The pucker factor does go up considerably once you get beyond GM however.

I feel comfortable aiding and am not necessarily turned away by the pucker factor.

Then you'll love the north side. Such a cool section of rock! Have fun!

You'll want to purchase the NC Select Climbs Guidebook then (if you don't already have it). Everything there from C1 to A4.

Thanks for the good info.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
