Acquisition History

Laurel Knob - 2005, 2006 & 2008

The Access Fund awarded the Carolina Climbers Coalition three grants (2005, 2006, 2008) to assist with the purchase of a 50-acre tract near Cashiers, North Carolina containing what is arguably the tallest cliff in the eastern United States – a granite wall over 1,000 feet tall known as Laurel Knob. The purchase opens up a previously closed climbing area.
