Table Rock

Directions Head north on the MST from the Table Rock parking lot for 0.5 mile, and then turn right onto the access trail for the climbing areas. You’ll pass a trail on the left that leads to the South End. Continue straight for the East Face and North End.

BONUS PICK: AMPHITHEATER CLASSICS

Numerous climbing areas are nicknamed the Amphitheater, but Linville’s version is particularly spectacular. Exposed and steep, this area to the south and west of the Chimneys and the North Carolina Wall offers climbable multi-pitch trad routes in a less-traveled part of the gorge. You’ll find several single-pitch options to the left of the Amphitheater’s gully that offer a great warm-up for the day.

The Mummy (5.5, three pitches) and Daddy (5.6, five pitches) are popular routes, with lots of opportunities for placing protection. Both routes are located on the large, shark-fin shaped tower on the right (south) side of the Amphitheater. The Mummy starts on the left side of the tower and follows a long vertical crack to an arête, then finishes with a low-angle scramble to the top. The Daddy starts on the right side of this tower, stair-stepping several angled ledges as the route gradually moves right across the face. It joins with a broad ledge and traverses left to another series of vertical cracks and ledges aiming almost directly for the top.
