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
Kind of a silly variation if you ask me... so don't ask me... and then again who the heck am I and why would my opinion matter!
Same start as 8)Spring Fling. When you get to the first ledge traverse cliff left with your feet on a good horizontal ledge towards Beer Wolf. Trend upwards until you get to the roof and traverse back to towards Spring Fling. This is the crux of this route, stemming across the chimney and establishing yourself back onto Spring Fling. Great section of climbing!
The climbing on this route was actually really fun. The rock quality was NOT! The gear was mostly good (when available) but again the rock quality was not inspiring. My second said he could tell when I was nervous because I would sew it up before the next section.
The most exciting section was traverseing from underneath the choss roof to the last section of Spring Fling.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of climbing. Might be a great one to consider doing on Top Rope.
Be careful on lead! Choss.
