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!

Description

My Husband is Going to Kill Me is now a fully-equipped sport route with 7 bolts and bolted anchors. The route follows a straight line from the ground to the pine tree at the top. The original toprope anchors have been left in place, but leaning far over the cliff edge to clip those bolts is not recommended unless you have a safety tether. Also be aware that unless you extend those toprope anchors with long slings, your rope will rub against the ledge below.

Location

Start in the middle of the wall under a tall pine tree (60 feet up). Route is to the left of the popular "black rain" sport route.

Protection

This is now a fully-equipped sport route with 7 bolts and bolted anchors. The original toprope anchors are located 3 feet below the top of the cliff next to a pine tree. If you are going to lean over the edge of the cliff to reach those anchors, please use a safety tether! Also be sure to use long webbing to prevent the rope from rubbing on the ledge below.
