I am going to be in Andrews NC for a few days in october and i was wondering if there is any nice intermediate climbing in or near the area. I will be with alot of people so it would be difficult to travel too far. Most of them dont climb (we are from florida), but they want to try it. i figure top rope would be ideal. thanks
Both sort of mediocre locales all in all, but they both have hidden gems, are TR accessible if you;re careful, and have a wide range of grades. Curahee has a short approach and huge vistas. The road can be rough at times. Yonah has a pleasing, if a bit steep, hike for an approach.
