Description Suggest change

Windy, and sunny. This place is very secluded. Never seen anyone else climbing. You can access the cliff by hiking the art loeb trail. The rock is full of water grooves.

Getting There Suggest change

Take the dirt road past the fish hatchery in Pisgah Forest. Take the first left on the dirt road. The parking will be 471D. Follow the trail until you get to the art loeb trail and go right. Stay on the art loeb trail until you get to the rock on the left. The trail is three miles and gradually climbs up to 3500 feet.
