In a camping guide book, I read that Foster Falls is 'quietly emerging as a premier rock climbing areas in the southeast.', and I have never heard of it.
We were thinking of going camping there, and I was just wondering about the climbing.

There is a 5.5, 5.7, and 5.8 there but mostly 5.9 and higher. Great camping, great swimming at the base of the falls after climbing all day and many routes stay shaded most of the day. Just be prepared for crowds on the weekends...

Foster falls rocks. But beware of the Rangers if you are camping. They will ticket you and kick you out of the park if you bring alcohol.
