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
You will need to start at the second pitch belay of Dream Waves and there are multiple ways to complete the first pitches. You can climb the first two pitches of Dream Waves or to make it more interesting, you can climb Peer Pressure first. From the second pitch belay, follow the dike up to the first bolt, where it enters dark rock. At the first bolt, move off of the dike and head straight up the mountain towards another bolt. You should be on the right edge of the dark rock the entire time. Watch for a set of double rings to the left. Traverse left across mossy rock to the belay rings. The second pitch has no protection but is not that difficult. Just head up and to the left. The belay will be above Fantastic and is shared by several routes in this area. Just follow the most interesting looking path.
