Today Kevin and I got to go play on the sandstone of Tennessee. It was Kevin's first visit to Little Rock City (aka LRC or Stone Fort) and I think he liked it. Our good friend and host Robyn joined us for a very nice, albeit warmer than expected, day at the boulders.

Kevin trying 'Kaya'This area is on private property, a golf course in fact. The folks that run the course are generous enough to allow 50 climbers per day free access as long as you are willing to sign a waiver and register online each day that you climb. I made a point of visiting the pro-shop to say hello to the manager and thank him for allowing us access to the beautiful boulders. He seemed to appreciate it and said as much. I think this kind of simple gesture would go a long way toward improving climber relations in many access sensitive areas across the country. Its amazing how much more accommodating people can be when you're friendly to them.
Here's a video of a few problems from our first day.

Actually they only allow 35 climbers and 20 vehicles per day. The south sucks though, go to Bishop!
Also, did I mention it sucks that I have to work today?
