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 hard new technical slab climb that is fun if you're into tiny holds on technical faces. The crux section is short but will likely be quite challenging for the grade. This route is about the same grade as "ghouls just wanna have fun", but a little more sustained.
P-1
Start on the same flake as for Happy Campers but climb easy flakes up and left to a reachy bolt in the water streak. Step left and climb hard slab on small but positive edges past 2 more bolts to a stance. From here the climbing is easier, and passes a 4th bolt and some gear. Traverse up and right to the Happy Campers belay, or link into pitch 2. 5.11+
P-2
Move back left and climb easy terrain to the steep groove. Climb the groove/streak past 3 bolts and a small cam at the top to a 2 bolt belay. 5.10
