The Blue Ridge area lies on the eastern edge of Tennessee, bordering North Carolina. This region of Tennessee is characterized by high mountains, including the Great Smoky Mountains, the Chilhowee Mountains, the Unicoi Range, and the Iron Mountains range. To the west of this narrow strip of land is a wide area of rolling hills and streams that stretches all the way to Memphis; this area is called the Tennessee Bottoms or bottom land. In Memphis, the Tennessee Bottoms end in steep bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River.
In the great state of Tennessee, numerous cliff lines are hidden in the river canyons, and perfect sandstone boulders can be found on top of hills, mountains and in the bottom of valleys! Tennesse is what I like to call the southern gemstone. There are many developed crags to climb at as well a bundle of new ones being spotted. There is a massive amount of climbing in the small state of Tn. From obed creek near Nashville to T-wall in Chattanooga. Trad lines can be found at numerous crags from Suck Creek, T-wall, Sunset, and Three Star sport routes arent to hard to find either Foster Falls, Obed Creek. If your traveling through definatly stop and climb awhile and if you live here climb on!
