Crag features

Tennessee Wall is one of the premier trad climbing destinations in the southeast. Located just outside of Chattanooga, it features hundreds of great routes on beautiful hard sandstone. ThereÂ’s something for leaders at all levels here, from trad novices to the hardest of the hardcore. (ThereÂ’s even a few sport routes, but theyÂ’re not for the faint-hearted.) T-Wall truly has enough variety to keep you climbing for years. 

T-Wall is predominantly a single-pitch crag, though there are some multi-pitch routes, mainly in the west section. Except where noted in the route descriptions, protection tends to be plentiful, and a rack of nuts, tricams and cams up to 4” is standard. Over the years, rapping from trees at the top of the crag was the norm, but pine beetle infestations have been killing many of the trees, so use of bolted anchors is steadily increasing. If you do rap from a slung tree, donÂ’t blindly trust it! A look at some of the fallen trees along the trail slung with old tat will drive this point home.
