I would really have to dig but I remember seeing a website for climbing at the big south fork somewhere. Also I think I watched a video on Vimeo about it. I was looking for bouldering areas so I didnt pay much attention though.

Glad I could be of zero assistance.

Google big south fork rock climbing. After you develop the area into a world class destination can I have a honerable mention in the guide book?

I haven't seen it yet but I believe there's a good bit of info in the newest Dixie Craggers Atlas. That should get you to a fair amount of the developed stuff. In the Gorge proper, the Crack house is pretty good.

Those bros in the outdoor online article are real stewards of the "last great wilderness area in the east". They built a fire on a cliff under an overhang in the national park then left at least three of their Sierra Nevada cans up on the ledges.

Compared to the previous version of Dixie Cragger's, is there more information in the new version?

Awesome guys thanks for the info. I'll do some digging and some bushwhacking, weathers turning!

You can most definitely have honorable mention. I'll set aside a couple page for your life story.

Jeff Noffsinger is the man to get in touch with. He lives in Nashville and has been a fixture for years there. Do not miss out on the BSF, its the biggest best place for adventure climbing in TN.

Elizabeth, Jeff N can certainly help you out. The newest Dixie Craggers Atlas has lots of new info and there are downloadable topos for the long routes available as pdfs from dixiecragger.com. As far as I know, this is the only real info in print form.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
