Description
Woodcock Cove is near the small town of Dunlap in Sequatchie County, TN, approximately a one hour drive from Chattanooga and a two hour drive from Nashville and Knoxville. An impressive mile-long cliff offers continuous single-pitch sport and traditional climbs. The rock is on par with all of the classic crags of the Cumberland Plateau, while also offering a distinctly natural experience; the area is filled with wildlife habitats, forests, streams, and an impressive view of the Sequatchie Valley. Woodcock Cove features a freestanding sandstone pillar, along with massive dihedral walls, both of which are unique finds in the Southeastern climbing scene. Established routes range from 5.8 to 5.13, and there are extensive sections that offer excellent climbing at more moderate grades.
Getting There & Crag Beta
Coordinates: 35°20'13.1"N 85°27'02.0"W
From Chattanooga: Follow US 127-N to Dunlap, TN. Turn left on Fredonia Road past the Sequatchie County Fairgrounds. Continue through twists and turns to the Fredonia Fire Hall, and turn left at that point onto Hobbstown Rd / John Henry Lewis Rd. Follow through the neighborhood until you see a marked parking lot to your right. This is the only place you should park.
WORD OF WARNING: It is recommended you park in the top half of the parking lot if you have a 2-wheel drive vehicle. The bottom half of the parking lot is steep with loose gravel and is very difficult to make it out of without a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
