What climbers say again and again
“Great option for climbing close to downtown, with mostly good quality rock, a short approach, and a decent selection of routes ranging from beginner to a 5.”
From the reviews
This was an excellent place to go climbing. Well developed with 34 different routes on Mountain project that you can look up. The approach was easy and simple with clear directions and guide posts. The bolts were spaced out very well also. They had routes anywhere from 3.6-3.13.
This crag is great, everything is super clean, the approach is really easy the parking is decent and all the bolts and ankors felt secure and safe. I would definitely recommend this crag and I'm grateful to whoever does the maintenance on this crag.
Great option for climbing close to downtown, with mostly good quality rock, a short approach, and a decent selection of routes ranging from beginner to a 5.13 overhanging roof route.
Rock quality is great to not so great, but the movement is spectacular! Great spot in town. Don't even need a gym membership living in Knoxville. Climb outside all year round.
