Eagle Scratch

This was not given a name to my knowledge. Tim, Sean- feel free to update.Sweet left slanting crack with a surprise crux in the bulge leading to anchors. There is a Tim Snyder/ Sean Cobourn project that continues (note bolt above anchors) but currently unfinished. It will need more dusting off. This area was heavily affected by the 2017 fires so the next year plus will require ash cleaning. Keith Wood notes: In 1989 Keith Wood and Tommy Bridges gave this a shot but couldn't complete it. It blanks out above the bulge. We drilled a bolt hole but didn't put in the last bolt because it didn't look like it could go any further. Our name for it was Noncommittal Mugging, but it really should be named by the one that completes it.

This route is on the Lower Tier of Eagle. Walk the amazing Tunnel Trail, CRSP's newest trail created by a partnership between the Carolina Climbers Coalition, Chimney Rock State Park, and Conserving Carolina. Follow the Tunnel Trail through the tunnel, then keep walking straight, past the newly made stone sofa, and follow along the base of the cliff.
