Tennessee Climbing

I am going to be doing some traveling through Tennessee in March and have heard there is some climbing around Chattanooga. I am a sport climber in the 10-11 grade and also do some bouldering. I was wondering if anyone knows the area pretty well and has some places they would recommend. I only have a few days and don't want to spend it wandering around or climbing up shit rock.

Thanks for your help

Tennessee Wall (T-Wall) is outside of Chattanooga, but you'll probably need a Trad rack.

You've hit the jackpot according to a recent mag article about the best place to live and climb. Chat' has it all, varied rock and never too far off for a day trip. Enjoy.

Thanks for the advice... I assume there are some campgrounds close as well?

i usually camp for free at rocktown, but there is some good pay camping near the lake in soddy daisy if your doing the little rock thing.
