Climbing Near Gatlinburg, Tennessee

The Sinks is an unnatural waterfall on the Little River, in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Opportunity for some novelty DWS on the 15-20 ft boulder overhanging the center of the swimming hole. Kinda choss, muddy and wet in spots. Lots of fun. Water is 8-12 feet deep surrounding the boulder. But check for logs and other debris as rivers change day to day. Also watch out for kids jumping overhead. Maybe 300 ft hike down from the parking lot. Follow the sound of screaming children.

Another mossy boulder, slightly overhung downhill face with an obvious flake and loose plate sticking out. Follow the trail down from the parking lot and turn left before reaching the cliff tops. Directly in front of Carpet Boulder. Easy to spot from below.

Moss covered boulder with a series of rails, ledges and crimps slashed across the clean downhill face. Follow the trail down from the parking lot and turn left before reaching the cliff tops. Directly behind Drapes Boulder. Easy to spot from below.
