About this place

Added by Daniel Brittain

If you are a climber and are looking for a simple hike in to the spot and a fun day of climbing, then this spot is the place to climb. This wall has a variety of routes ranging from 5.5-5.12. It is easy to get to and can easily be set as top rope.

To get here, set your GPS to the address pinned below and park on the side curb in the Suntrust Bank lot. From here, walk opposite your car and follow the trail over the high walk and railroad tracks. This will bring you to a concrete railing, to the left is a wooden stair case and to the right is the sketchy old steps that lead to the base of the wall which is a section of the old Manchester bridge. Once you have made it to the wall, you can lead the routes up and then set a top rope for everyone. We had a lot of fun working our way from left to right as the routes got harder. If you are a photographer, there are plenty of vantage points to shoot from above and the side without being attached to the wall. Overall, this wall is a great place to hang out with fellow climbers and have an adventure.
