Table Rock Climbers Access Trail Project Receives Major Funding
Linville Gorge's Table Rock is an iconic and historic climbing destination. With over 400 feet of prominence standing over Linville Gorge, climbers have frequented Table Rock since the 1950's. Table Rock’s 100+ multi-pitch routes truly shine in the beginner to moderate level, making the area a great instructional and group climbing arena.
Access has arrived at Raven Rock and Hickory Creek Boulders!
In the Spring of 2023, the CCC worked with the land owners of Raven Rock and Hickory Creek Boulders to form a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlining stewardship tasks and access for the public. We are grateful to the landowners for their generous allowance of climbing on their property for registered individuals. In turn, climbers have stepped up and begun to take care of their land.
The Buffalo Creek Upper Boulders Trail: A Hidden Gem of Rutherford County
In June 2023, the CCC received a generous grant of $22,288 from the Rutherford County Tourism Development Authority (TDA) for the development and maintenance of the Buffalo Creek Upper Boulders Trail, located in the Town of Lake Lure. Our organization has also received major support for Buffalo Creek from RHI Legacy Foundation and REI Asheville, with an estimated total donation for this project totaling over $50,000!
2023 Annual Public Meeting
Updated Web Site
We've made some changes! New hosting provider (faster, more responsive pages), latest and greatest versions of the web site content management system and the membership management system.
New look and feel, easy access to climbing area waivers on every page, better looking e-mail newsletters, easier search for membership status and rebolting work, month and list view for the events calendar, site search, and more! The site is also more mobile friendly and should work well across all devices.
2 CCC Board Positions Open!
The Carolina Climbers Coalition is currently seeking a new Northern Mountains Representative as well as a Southern Piedmont Representative to join our volunteer Board of Directors.
Pisgah Nantahala Forest Plan
Almost ⅓ of America’s climbing is on National Forest lands. In North Carolina, on Pisgah & Nantahala National Forest alone, there are thousands of boulder problems and climbing routes on many dozens of discrete crags and boulderfields. Popular, historic, and beloved climbing areas like Linville Gorge, Looking Glass Rock, Whitesides, Cedar Rock and others are all found on the more than 1 million acres of Pisgah & Nantahala National Forest. In the Carolinas and across the country, National Forests are a significant and precious climbing resource.
