Southeast climbing

Southeast rock climbing rocks! There may not be many walls soaring hundreds of feet in the air, but in my opinion the Southeast's hard sandstone provides the best rock quality and style of climbing. This Christmas break, I spent one day at Little River Canyon around Fort Payne and two days at Tennessee Wall in Chattanooga. It was a real treat to say the least.

Derek (climbing), Paul (belaying), and Lauren (photographing) let me tag along on their mid-week climb. These guys are legit pull-hards! In the above picture, I am helping to give an extra 'umph' to Derek's boink.

I met my friend Matt from Chapel Hill in Chattanooga. We were amazed at the diversity, quality and quantity of lovely lines at T-Wall. It is a trad heaven of sorts.
