Twall - Burnt to a Crispwoodzy | 03 March, 2007 23:53 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 campfire. The fire didn't seem to touch the cliff line, but it burned the top and bottom of the cliff line. The key there is burning the top of the cliff... that makes the slings and trees that you rap on sketchy as HELL. We unfortunately ran into this problem on "Days Work" near Sanskrit. The tree that you usually rapped off of... totally burned to a crisp! Slings where still on it... but ah... I'm not gonna trust my life to plastic (nylon) which loses pretty much ALL of its strength in the heat. So after a serious run out slab (cause we went the wrong wayish...), we had to traverse over to the anchors on Sanskrit. Oh its so much fun. EPIC :) I also lost my sunglasses... :( Our goal today was mileage, but between our 2 hour epic and stuff.. didn't really get the mileage we were going for.
