We may be outdoorsy and what not but that doesn't mean we don't like tossin' the pigskin around and following good 'ole American football. So, to add our two cents to the Super Bowl, I have asked our resident gear expert and football connoisseur, Marcus Webb, to provide some fun facts about this years teams. Whats the word, Marcus?

North Carolina's Best Climbing Shop
Favorite Places to Climb in NC...
Rumbling Bald
RB has it all- Trad climbing, bouldering, slab, steep, stellar cracks-- you name it. This area was recently incorporated into Hickory Nut Gorge State Park and is best climbed in fall through spring, as summer brings on intense heat and oodles of poison ivy. Be sure to park considerately in the newly completed parking lot.
Looking Glass
Looking Glass is truly around the corner from our shop! It has everything from classic multipitch moderates like The Nose, to long aid climbs, and steep, classic cracks like Cornflake Crack. The Nose Area and The South Face are popular for groups and moderate climbers. Bring your trad gear- particularly tricams for the tricky eyebrows that Looking Glass is known for!
Linville Gorge
Shortoff is a fabulous area to check out some of the steeper routes in western NC. Dopey Duck is a great classic to get your feet wet and Ship Rock, just off The Blue Ridge Parkway, stays cool in summer.
Come by the shop for more beta on NC Climbing!
