5 out of 5 stars Great stretch

Had a long stretch to make it from the overhang to the offwidth. Fun crack though.

4 out of 5 stars Ouch!

I stuffed a #4 Friend in the crack just as it goes from horizontal to vertical...and I used it SEVERAL times... It's frequent flyer territory until you figure out the heel hook/hand jam sequence to pull the lip. Great Route...highly recommended. Maybe I'll get it clean one day.

4 out of 5 stars Rusty's Crack

A little too much beta in the route description. Double 4" cams take the bite out of the offwidth. Was 5.8 in the first guide book, it's probably the softest Tennessee Ten I've been on, let's call it 5.9

3 out of 5 stars hard move to start crack

hard move transitioning from chimney to crack but other than that a good climb! its always a plus when you can scare tourists on top by topping out in front of the overlook!
