Pardise for Mortals (view)

Nestled beside one of the tributaries of the Obed River near the town of Wartburg, TN, lie the steepest roofs this side of sanity. Some have complained that the routes are monotonous, but is this spray just a posturing response to the fact that many of these routes are "only" 5.11 or 5.12? It's a sandstone jungle gym. Pictured is Heresey, THE line at Lily Bluff. While the 11c crux is on the face....Ladies and gentlemen, this 20+ fooot roof clocks in at 5.10! Climber: Jerm Houghton. Photo: Dirk Peters.
