I work 20 minutes away from Looking Glass. Send me a PM, I have been pulling some shifts lately and getting off earlier than 5:00 pm, and if you catch me on one of those days then i would love to go up there.

You know I've been wanting to head down there. Why during the week?? You going on business?

There is no sport climbing in NC. Even routes that are bolted are not really sport. Many have ground fall potential at the first 3 bolts and huge fall potential after that. Most bolts have been placed on lead and the quality can be less than desirable; as well as some are just old.

So... Leave your sport draws, bring your trad rack and a good belayer and a great head and you will have a wonderful time.
