My Deep South ice climbing remark was tongue-in-cheek, but catpappy called me this morning and pointed out this site in North Carolina, about 3 hours north of Atlanta, called Winding Stair Gap. Apparently there
is ice-climbing to be had around here - I had no clue.
catpappy: "Hey, we need to get up there this winter!"
Me: "And do what?"
catpappy: "Oh, watch . . . "
Plenty more shots
here.
