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 solid route with a bit of hollow rock on it, but nothing is going to break off if you are thoughtful about how you yard on things. The route gets a bit steep through the big flake section.
Start on the mossy boulder behind the tree and step up and left onto the face. Aim for the flakes. This route is almost all flakes. Collect the flakes.
At the biggest, baddest flake of them all, follow it right, stepping onto the face of the flake when convenient (partway through a lie-backey section). At the top walk left on what feels like a sidewalk to the bolted anchors below the roof.
