Well the last few weeks have been loco.The word about The Riverside is spreading, more and more are coming out to sample some of North Atlanta's best. The photo topos are evolving to be easier to follow. The climbing is getting good with the colder weather setting in and no more little blood thirsty bugs, Yeah that is definitely worth being exited about.
And then I took a walk down the Appalachian Trail. This thing is no joke. It is steep and gains elevation fast. So we started up this thing hoping the trail on the way up to the top would be lined with boulders. More than you could imagine. There was a few boulders, but not what I was thinking was there. Although the part of the trail I walked didnt have much for rock it made up for in visual stimulation.
After the hike we took off down the road in the Crag huntin mobile and went in search of other areas. So we are driving around the roads and we make a few turns here and there and drive past waterfalls and through a few creeks. Thank you Subaru. Up through a gorge and Boom there were boulders and a campsite right in front of them.
We drove around the area till dark and found a bunch of rock. Then it got dark, Till next time enjoy some pics.

The Super Secret Boulder Project Update 2






It has been a very good week at the stash. I saw a long term project go to pieces as The Minnick worked out the finishing moves and sent it in a moment of bliss. We have also been working on the Topo. I have gone through and logged all the GPS locations for all the walls. The GPS has givin me some info to share. The outcrop stretches about a half mile long with boulders and walls spread out pretty evenly. Other than that things are still moving fast with the weather being so nice. We are hoping to take a few people out for a preview of the area and get some other opinions of the area.

The plan for the next week is to try to get second ascents on some of the Moderates to obtain a consensus grade for some climbs. As things are we have about 60 problems and short routes. With little over a quarter of the areas developed.
I am looking forward to getting my Mentor and Coach out for some FA's on a couple of short routes. Here are a few more pics for yall to look through.
Hint 2 Get of at the Suwanee Exit and go.... See ya next week.

Here is a couple video's of Problems from the Area.
