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
I am posting this route in hopes that some of the Moore's vets can add more info. I am pretty sure that we (and others, from what I have heard) started this thing wrong and did a sort of indirect version.
The guide references starting in "a V slot with an overhang at the bottom." We started in what was more like a chimney, toward the left side of the little briar patch under the Indian Head. I am now pretty sure this is "Nevermore." It is definitely longer than 40 feet and harder than 5.7, as P1 is described in the guide. This made our second pitch a short, easy diagonal traverse up and right to the dark corner where the money pitch starts.
The money pitch is impossible to miss and amazing! Our "Indian Head Indirect" version of P1 and P2 was also actually pretty cool, but I am quite sure it is not the right start. I am hoping this gets some folks talking about the proper start so that others who wanna get on this thing feel more prepared and do it right!

Location
Good question!
The Indian Head feature is hard to miss as you walk from the Ampitheater to the North End. There is a little briar-filled alcove under the feature. The proper start of the route is somewhere in here. The wide chimney on the left side of the briar patch is "Nevermore" and can also be used to start the route.
If you have double ropes, the guide says you can rap from a tree island climber's right of the Indian Head. For a single rope rap, scramble along the rest of the ridge that forms the Indian Head and descend the gully to the left.
