Athens Climbing Lives!

This page has been neglected, but the rock still stands and the climbers still pull down.  Fall is about to hit and that means a whole new wave of students, and the return of sending temps.

As most people know, our fearless leader (Tina)  headed to those hills out west, which means maybe now someone will let the secret out about all those projects and they can finally be sent.... but maybe not. 

If you're new to the area and you don't know where to start, I recommend a nice walk down the rockhouse trail, chances are you'll see some of the Athens veterans out brushing the sand and moss off the holds getting their re-sends of the classics (if they aren't still squating in old climber hangouts drinking thier PBR's and talking about how they're too tired and it's too hot to climb), or at least you'll get a feel for what this little bubble town has to offer. 

Hopefully there is more news to come, so stay tuned

Yes, I take it back, the projects were posted.... but the oddly the directions to the land of the super heroes never came...

You can blame ODOT for no directions. They started the bypass construction and closed roads. We will have to fix them and re-post.
