Rock Climbing at Mount Yonah

Atlanta Outdoor Club is organizing a rock climbing event at Mt. Yonah, Cleveland, GA on March 28, 2009.

From the trailhead, participants will hike up to the Main Face which is almost at the top of the mountain. This face is easily visible from GA 75 between Cleveland and Helen. The hike is approximately 2.5 miles and gains about 1500 feet in elevation.

Once at the Main Face, several top ropes will be set up and you’ll enjoy a full day of rock climbing with spectacular views and good company. Although the climbing is fairly easy on Mt. Yonah, the required hiking makes this a physically demanding trip. So, please be prepared to be tired and hungry by the end of the day.

Prior experience is recommended, indoor climbing or outdoor climbing. Participants must bring their own harness, climbing shoes, and helmet.
