We have some very exciting news! The CCC has developed a parking agreement with Whitesides Cove Cabins, which provides CCC member parking on the Cabin property. Our sincere thanks to Whiteside Cove Cabins! What does that mean for you as a CCC member? By way of a free eventbrite reservation, you will be able to park at the Whiteside Cove Cabin property, which abuts National Forest lands. With some luck, you may find a wide swath of climbing opportunities, with past climbing precedent, located 1-2 miles north west of the parking area. Previous access to these climbing zones were either through trespassing or a 4 mile bushwhack. This parking agreement eliminates the 4 mile mile bushwhack and gives CCC members with a parking pass a legal place to park. Like most of our national forest climbing areas, there are no trails in the region. Please practice leave no trace. Research where you are going ahead of time to ensure you do not trespass onto private property. We recommend using GAIA GPS and turn on the private property layer so that you know if you are certain you are on public land. Research all of this at home before going. In order to park at Whiteside Cove Cabins, you must reserve a free spot here, and you must have a current CCC membership OR rent out one of their great cabins! For more information on the five available Whiteside Cove Cabins, visit http://whitesidecovecabins.com/.

We’ve run out of money and most of our C4 crew members have returned to their normal jobs. We were able to raise over $40,000 thanks to donations from climbers, friends, family, and local businesses. We were able to build two trails and gain access to two new exceptional climbing areas. These two new access additions are some of the least expensive in the history of the CCC. The C4 trail building model could become a staple in future access. We are interested in moving a new team to an entirely different region. If extensive trail needs exist in your area, reach out to your local CCC representative. Maybe your idea will be the next C4 project.

The Pumpkintown trail is complete! A big thanks to volunteers and the C4 team for making this massive project happen. Our full public opening is slated for the beginning of October. Our SC Climbers Festival will celebrate this great opening!

Thanks to the work of 69 volunteers and 439 documented hours this past year, the Whitehouse Cliffs base trail is nearly complete! Go check out this new climbing area! Thanks to support from the Access Fund, Trango Climbing, and many many volunteers, we were able to focus on opening this new resource to you! Thank you Rocky Fork State Park officials as well for just being pl
