I would be interested in that.Originally Posted by carolinasbackpacker
If you want a challenge.. you could take the back door to cedar rockit's definitely not for the faint of heart and is impossible if it's wet( trust me, i've been there) I finally made it last year. The last few hundred feet is about a 40 degree granite slab. I believe its's a class 5 scramble or something like that. I would go so far to say, it's extremely dangerous

Straight out of Clayton.
Most physical hike: Grandfather Mountain, NC. Aug 13.
I don't need to make my pack lighter. I need to make my (_*_) lighter.
I'll show you the way but I'm not going back up it again. Remember you still have to get back down. I seriously would not attempt it if the rock is wet. Ropes would be handy as well

I'm drawn to the open country. Its where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there I always return with something new.
Cool. If we can't see you, we can hike hike vicariously with you.
Folks really liked their description of the path to the Enchanted Forest. Perhaps someone can re-post it.

I enjoyed watching that again. I hope to summit Cedar Rock from the NE between now and July. If a trail is viable, perhaps I'll put it on our roster.

there would be 2 of us trying to manage it. When it comes to uphill I can be slow as a herd of turtles thru peanut butter, but I keep moving, as long as I can breathe, anyway. It'll take us a little longer because I'll have to stop a few times, but I'd really like to do this.There are several sets of 'stairs' and two bridges. With a little help, its do-able. Pneumatic wheels would be a plus. There is a 'mud' section that we've all come to know and love

The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn." — John Muir
Well, we have one of the fold up wagons. it's pretty tough. Holds 200Lbs. I think we can make it work. I just have a few things I'll need to bring...small cooler,potty,one or 2 anodized dutch ovens,seasonings,some spoons,charcoal,small table,few clothes. Hammock and tarp will be in my backpack. Should be able to manage the wagon between me and KingsFord. If not he'll have to send ya'll back for the body.
