Crag features

Sunset is one of Tennessee's premier traditional crags. The hard sandstone provides great climbing and protection as well as spectacular exposure and views of the valley below. Routes are plentiful in a wide range of difficulty. As a west-facing cliff, Sunset is an excellent alternative to hotter areas like Tennessee Wall during the summer months. 

Approach notes

Sunset Rock is long cliff line above Chattanooga at the top of Lookout Mountain. It is part of a National Park, so access is sensitive. There is a good parking lot "The Access Fund Parking Lot" at the base of the hill - it is almost impossible to park at the top. Nearest camping is a good way away

Very good climbing. Often heady. Sandbagged even local standards (I've yet to find any soft grades in the southeast, but this place stands out).
