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!

Access Issue: Note: you must fill out a waiver each year to hike or climb in this area. Details

Beta:

-The Stony Mountain Vineyard, one private land owner, and the Carolina Climbers Coalition have confirmed an access agreement for boulders on two parcels on Stony Mountain.

- This access agreement is not a permanent solution for firm access but it is a great start! Huge thanks to land owners, the Tridicos, as well as Stony Mountain Vineyards for allowing climbing and trail access to their properties.
