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
The Hand of God is one of the highest quality routes in the Cookbook as well as one of the hardest. A multi-dimensional route that flows nicely with a beautiful mix of power, delicacy, sloppers, crimps, face and roofs. It climbs through one of the prettiest and smoothest sections of the wall and getting your hand to stay on the second crux is both the delima and the name sake.
Start same as Spiritual Warfare and break left after the second bolt. Follow the left leaning dihedral to a vertical crack in the roof and fire the first big crux to a good rest out right. From here, veer left through the second crux and fight the pump through small holds, underclings and very delicate footwork to the anchors.
