I recently visited douglass Falls in the Big Ivy Forest, which is part of Pisgah. I found a sport route to the left of the falls.. maybe 40 ft high. maybe 4 bolts with anchors at the top of the route about halfway up the falls.
anyone have any idea of the grade/name of the route and also any other beta of climbing routes at the falls.

Thanks!

It called fall line I think. It rated 5.lla 3 star route supposed to be amazing. Also a two 5.12bs and a traditional 5.10c all for stars.

I have never climbed those routes. The head route setter at are gym said the rock quality is not to good. Do you agree, and is the movement fun?

Are there any established boulders in this same area?

I saw some really rad lines but didn’t have any pads to send.

I got to say it: developing routes directly beside waterfalls is very poor ethics. There is a reason nobody drilled bolts there for the longest time...

@Dave is that because of sensitive wild life?
