I am making a quick stop in TN next week, hopefully climbing at the T-Wall. Rain is in the extended forecast for the two days I'll be there. What are the choice areas, cliffs, or routes that stay dry in the rain around 1hr. drive of Chattanooga?

Lizard Wall at Little River Canyon is climbable in the biggest downpours. Get on Lemonade, one of the best warm ups ever.

You guys obviously have missed the memo and broken the Little River Canyon code of southern silence just by mentioning those 3 words on the internet. Prepare to have this entire thread deleted.

Things have changed, buddy.
I rarely visit, but it's usually quite mobbed on the weekends.
Seems like half of the climbing community in ATL and BHM are dedicated LRC climbers.
With another third at Sandrock and all the Chattanoogans in Chattanooga, that leaves a lot of rock for the rest of us.
Hard to maintain some sort of veil of secrecy when the rim road is lined with Subarus, Elements, and those dang Prii on any given Saturday.

None closer and more convenient to Chatt than LRC or some of the cave features at various crags.
A 3 hr drive across hwy 64 will find you at the best place to climb in the SE in the rain....
