OE ae ee ee ce are een a an ai en i ee i ll a a ae 10 | WCnewsmagazine Seasons end has you down? Colder weather doesnt mean stay inside By Gary Takacs * WCnewsmagazine Throughout Western North Carolina, hiking trails, parkways and back roads lead the way into something many people travel hundreds of miles to see: the diverse, respectable and beautiful Appalachian Mountains. Local residents and students are fortunate to live in such a beautiful area known as the Smoky Mountains, but some of us dont know how to get out and experience it. Many dont know where good locations are or how to get to them. Here are just a few places that can be checked out a few miles away from campus: The 2,160 some mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail sneaks through the Smokies on its way from Georgia to Maine. The AT passes over Clingmans Dome at 6,643ft, the highest point in the Smoky Mountains and the second highest point east of the Mississippi River (after Mt. Mitchell, 6,684ft). The AT continues on around the western shore of Fontana Lake, through the Nantahala National Forest careening through valleys and next to overlooks, campsites and historical points of interest, before it crosses the Georgia state line near the Standing Indian summit, ending at Springer Mountain. Looking to stay close to WCU? Test your orienteering skills (map and compass), and take a day hike or put a weekend aside for a backpacking excursion in the Yosemite of the East, Panthertown. Panthertown is located in a 6,700 acre spread of the Nantahala National Forest within Jackson County. Panthertown is full of granite cliffs, waterfalls, wildlife and plenty of plant life. The Tuckasegee River starts here in Panthertown, adding to the tight knit environment that we live in. In addition to some good hiking and water sports, the mountains offer yet WNC great for climbing, but dangerous without experience By Jessica Jarrard * WCnewsmagazine Climbing is a thrilling yet dangerous sport that requires both physical and mental strength. When scaling rock faces, it is important to know what you are doing. Never attempt to climb unless you are with someone who is trained in setting ropes and anchors. However, even if you do not have formal rock climbing training, there are things you can do. Bouldering spawned from traditional and sport climbing. Bouldering is where a climber chooses smaller rocks to scale, taking caution in landings and descents. The catch is, dont climb higher than you are willing to fall. Bouldering can be just as dangerous as climbing. There are no. true requirements, but rock shoes, chalk and crashpad are recommended. Bouldering is much cheaper. than climbing. The cost of shoes, chalk and crashpad is around $450. The cost of climbing gear ranges anywhere from $500+ for basic gear, to thousands of dollars for all of the equipment and gadgets available to climbers. Much of the rock in this region is granite, which means it is either slick, slabby or sharp. Different styles of climbing appeal to different people. Slabby rock leaves little room for protection and lacks large holds. It isnt a top choice for beginners. Granite that has pockets, edges and jugholds are often slick or sharp, but they are easier one more activity - rock climbing. | Whiteside | Mountain is located between Cashiers and Highlands, about 45 minutes west of Brevard. Whiteside has more than 10 routes; some are free- style (where you can make your own route), while some are aided (anchors have been left in the rock face). The southern face is hidden from the road, so act surprised when you do finally see it. This is closed from January 15 to August 15 due to the Peregrine falcon nesting season, so hurry if you want to get a crack at it! to hold on to. Be sure you are comfortable with the style of climbing and your abilities before climbing anything. Many climbing hot spots are near WCU. Granite City, a top bouldering spot located in Cashiers, has an assortment of both easy and hard boulders to climb. If you want to get on a rope, Looking Glass has a lot of multi-pitch climbs. If you go to Looking Glass, proper gear is absolutely required in order s to be safe. If you dont have the gear, good bouldering is near the base of the mountain. Rumbling Bald, outside of Chimney Rock, has both climbing and bouldering. The North Carolina Climbers Guide has information concerning Looking Glass and Rumbling Bald. If you are interested in climbing but dont have the gear or the experience, Base Camp Cullowhee offers climbing trips with a trained instructor. If none of their dates work for you, there are other options. Rock gyms, like Climbmax in Asheville, offer guided climbing trips to both Rumbling Bald and Looking Glass. These are great ways to get some good, safe exposure.
