Don't think of North Carolina for a climbing destination? Think again. Located in the southern Appalachians, intimidating granite domes, steep quartzite walls, and a variety of terrain offering short and long climbs will whet the appetites of beginning to more advanced climbers.

The 10 climbing areas are organized into three geographical regions: Piedmont including Moore's Wall; Stone Mountain; Crowders Mountain; the Northern Blue Ridge covering the infamous Linville Gorge-often referred to as the Grand Canyon of North Carolina; Ship Rock; and the Southern Blue Ridge with Looking Glass, Rumbling Bald, Cedar Rock, Big Green, and Whiteside Mountain.

Yon Lambert has spent more than a decade climbing in the Appalachian Mountains and across the U.S. As a freelance writer, his articles have appeared in many publications including The Washington Post and Climbing magazine. He is also the assistant director of Palmetto Conservation Foundation, a nonprofit conservation group in South Carolina. Harrison Shull has climbed extensively in the U.S. and spent six years living and working at Seneca Rocks, West Virginia as a climbing guide. He moved to Asheville in 1998 where his work as a freelance photographer specializing in outdoor adventure sports allows him plenty of time to be out in the North Carolina woods.

North Carolina: Change and Tradition in a Southern State

North Carolina: Change and Tradition in a Southern State Review

In this long-awaited survey history, William Link examines the fascinating history of North Carolina through the lens of strong but seemingly contradictory historical patterns: powerful forces of traditionalism punctuated by hierarchies of class, race relations, and gender that seemingly clashed, especially during the last century, with potent forces of modernization and a progressive element that welcomed, even embraced, change. The result answers meaningful questions that all Tar Heels ask about the history and the future of the unique and quickly growing state they call home.

Taking the North Carolina story from moments before first contact all the way to the elections of 2008, this book provides a great new resource for all college-level instructors and students of North Carolina history.
