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
This is a great, easy to find, and easy to get down warm-up route for the Hidden Wall. Beware, there is some loose stuff above the bolt. Move carefully, and don't place gear behind it.
Belay and start on a fairly flat slab ledge above a blunt arete. Move up the slab, around the tree to reach the crack start in the obtuse dihedral. Follow the crack up to a bolt. Make several technical moves up the face past the bolt until you can reach an undercling near the anchor (crux), maybe PG13 here. Plug some gear and finish to the anchors.
