Tons of great climbs here and in the gorge. North Ridge (5.6) is a good area to setup top ropes to teach new leaders. Plenty of diverse pro and access to the top.
I was impressed by this mountain. The mountains in the east are somewhat the same in that they are entirely covered with trees and are less exposed than rocky western summits. Table Rock is a refreshing exception to both of these generalizations.
were spent climbing here... Linville Gorge has some fun routes, Table Rock being only part of the whole area. Pretty good rock. Try Shortoff Mountain too...
A warm dry climb to fantastic views on the final day of summer Date Climbed: Sep 22, 2007
Table Rock offers spectacular views of the Gorge below and Hawksbill Mountain. Unlike many of the other highpoints I have visited in the South, Table Rock had a number of visitors on its summit. Perhaps this was due to the unusually warm and dry weather we have been experiencing in East Tennessee/Western Carolina. For solitude and equally breathtaking views, I recommend Sitting Bear.
Came southbound on the Mountain to Sea Trail and continued on through after the quick detour to the top. It was my first time in the area and I was impressed. Great views but a little windy.
Granted I just hiked the trail to the top but give me some credit that was like 700 miles to get to that point!
hiking and climbing to the Summit. Have climbed several routes there (Jim Dandy, Cave Route, My Route, N. Ridge, Peek-a-Boo) as well as the hiking trail to the summit.
