I am searching for information on a place in TN or nearby that my husband, who is turning the BIG 5-0, can go climbing. This is on his bucket list and he wants to do it on his 50th birthday. I would love to see if there is anything out there for a complete newbie with no experience, no gear, and no idea as to what he is getting into but has a dream to climb.
Where are you in TN? Climb Nashville is a great indoor gym if you are near there. Check the 'gyms' link at top of this site front page to find one nearby. Otherwise I think you need a guide service closest to Chatt area for rocks, where you can get a days climbing in for a reasonable fee.
There are loads of places in Western NC that would be great for a beginner (with a guide). Linville Gorge for starters. Fox Mountain Guides are the biggest company, but there are others.
