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
This possibly the most exposed pitch of climbing at Cooks Wall. Not necessarily the hardest or the highest but it's position is incredible and makes you very aware of your surroundings. While this can easily be climbed sport, via the exposure and short run-outs, some chose to supplement with gear between bolts 4 and 6.
On the far left side of the wall, delicately climb up a natural rock corridor to the first bolt and follow the large vertical seam that trends left. Continue straight up and over a roof to finish on the right side of a sheer arete while looking down on some of the most intimidating air at Cooks.
