Access Issue: Post Hurricane Helene Accessibility of Crags
Details
The CCC has created the list linked below of accessible and inaccessible climbing areas with some caveats. If you decide to head out for a day of climbing, please do not attempt to go to those marked ‘inaccessible’. Please note that all areas in WNC will have extensive tree damage and if you head out, use extra caution for all the trees above, especially on a windy day. Rock fall potential is also highest after a big weather event. Please use extra caution while climbing and prepare to self rescue if injured. Injury response time will be greatly limited for any injury currently, especially for a remote injury. Cell service is limited in all areas. Parking at accessible crags in the WNC/ Upstate SC region will likely be challenging. If the parking lot is full, go to a different area and do not park illegally or in a road. Make a plan B before leaving your house. Expect road detours on the way to the crag. NCdrive.gov updates road closures. Once you get to the crag, expect many trees blocking access trails and of course, come volunteer with the CCC to help us bring our climbing areas back!

Description
Begin at a series of broken, steep, right-leaning cracks. The rightmost crack widens to off-width and is capped by a slight bulge. Grunt your way through this sustained bottom section, fire over the bulge and onto easier ground. Continue up to a similar section of right-leaning cracks up high. After this final crux, exit right onto sharp, chossy rock at the top of the steep gully.
Location
About 20 feet right of the popular sport climb Opinionated, next to a pine tree near the base.
Protection
Mostly .75 Camalot or smaller. There's one spot down low that will take a #4 C4, but it isn't required. You'll need to build a gear anchor at the top, and bring plenty of long slings or webbing if you plan to set up a top rope. To get down, either descend the 5.easy gully or top out through the choss above and walk off.
