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
A nice diversion from the neighboring routes, Rastafari features a left rising traverse through slightly overhanging quartz cauliflower heads, flakes, and cracks. Good protection for the most part, although there might be a bit of suspect rock - probably not a fun route to fall on since the sharp rock heads wouldn't feel that great to bounce or scrape down.
Regardless, it's a nice secluded line that is a bit pumpy at times even though the rock is quite featured. It's likely possible to continue past the fixed hardware anchor although the difficulty looks like it eases considerably at that point and you'd have to find an alternate way down.

Location
This is rather tricky to find. Go to the far end of the north end and follow the trail uphill slightly passing Filet of Fish, etc, around the corner on your right side. Continuing on ahead there is a small clearing with some 10' tall boulders (and a chalked up problem) near the back and side. Leave your pack and rack up here.
Scramble up the gully via the left side and go straight back a short distance until you run into a vertical cliff on your left side with some discontinuous cracks/flakes starting head level. Facing this you'll notice a clearing about 40 feet or so to your left around the cliff - this is the landing zone for the rappel from the fixed nuts. Be sure to take in the awesome detached pillar a bit further on.
If you hike past the start you'll see a dead end with a vertical wide crack in the back (likely wet). Might be worth scouting the area a bit anyway...

Protection
Pro: standard rack to C4 #3, although a #2 might be adequate.
There were two fixed nuts with quick links at the end of the rising traverse - be wary, it might be easy to miss them. Although one nut+link was quite rusty, they both seemed to be slotted fairly well. You would definitely want to back it up for TR and you may want to consider adding to/upgrading the anchor and prepare for an adventure+new anchor if you do miss the stoppers.
