Category: TennesseeORGT Sport Climbing Class - Fosters
Fosters. Duh! SUPER COLD! Yes it was cold. But we got at least 2 of the students right into sport climbing. I was very impressed that they just hopped on that did it like they had nothing to lose. Go them. I put one of them on Diamond Cutter, cause I knew it was harder than he could probably...
Tennesee Wall
I'm feeling pretty solid on 10's these days... almost blew it on Cake Walk though ;) Went back and did a climb (Digital Macabre) that I remember flailing on back in the day (my first time to T-Wall really) . Routes: Sanskrit (8) Puppy Ride (9) - It is not a hard climb at all,...
Twall - Burnt to a Crisp
So last weekend T-Wall, Tennessee Wall, just north of Chattanooga, TN was burnt to a crisp. Well mostly. There was a large forest fire likely caused by a recurring arsonist that the police are still looking for. Climbing and fire don't usually go together, unless your busting out the...

T-Wall-licious
Yet another day when its 30 at the parking lot and PERFECT at the cliff line. Hand Jams and finger locks where todays medicine. Got on Pursuit of Excellence, Hidden Assets, Love Handle and Points of Contact. It was awesome to get back on Hidden Assets and just flash it, this was my first 10a...
Suck Creek Canyon
So much to say... This area is certainly overlooked by the general climber, but should be visited more. It is certainly adventure climbing! Especially with everything damp and dirty (it might not always be damp, heh). The trail is anything but obvious, which is fun, the routes are anything but...
TWall - Pushing My Limit
Came back home early from the break so I could get out to T-Wall and enjoy the beautiful weather (read crazy warm for December) we are having now. I used my fancy new GPS to find out how long the T-Wall trail was... and I think the verdict is .5 miles horizontal distance and maybe .75 miles on...
TWall - After Exam Stress Reliever
I am becoming too intimate with the hike up to T-Wall :) Climbed here Thursday & Friday. Thurs Where the Lizards go to Die (10a os) Awesome climb! The roof(s) looks really imposing, but its a blast. I cut my feet and just hung for a sec... twas a nice little rush. Sugar in the Raw...
