For Rock climbers, exploring ones own
back yard is a great way to gain experience, meet new people, and
really get use to their equipment. Pocket is only 7 min from Bryan
campus and about 45 min from Chattanooga TN. The possibilities for
climbing and bouldering out here are endless. A really fun place for
beginners and more experienced climbers alike is a set of three
climbs ranging from a 5.6 top rope route, to a 5.11 bolted sports
route, and finally and 5.9 top rope climb.
I took some new climbers out here to teach them the ropes and get them warmed up on outdoor rock. what a fun day! no only can they climb a outdoor 5.6 but we also got to do some awesome 80 foot repels off the same face. Annalise got her first taste of outdoor climbing here at pocket on this 5.6 climb. A fantastic first day got her hooked and led to future climbs at our local climbing gym in Chattanooga, Urban Rocks
