I don't know the names of the routes, but I see someone has just added a new section to the database that refers to the sport routes. I'm guessing the names are in the Dixie Cragger's Atlas, but unfortunately I've not been able to get my hands on a copy. The next time I get to look at a friend's copy, I will make note of the names of these routes and get back to you.

I was just up at Starr Mountain for the first time this past weekend with the Atlanta Climbing Club. I thought it was great climbing! I especially enjoyed Lucky Strikes, it was my first time pulling a roof.

Well, I just checked the Dixie Cragger's Atlas, and he says there are no sport routes at Starr Mountain. Maybe they've been put up since the book was printed . . . I don't know. I sure didn't see them when I was up there.

the two sport routes are on the lower tier. when you come to the cliffs on the trail take the right trail leading to the bottom
