Abstract:

A sport gaining ground in a state known for its many mountains was rock climbing. Contributing to its rise in popularity (over 4500 climbers reported), were places to climb such as Hanging Rock State Park, Looking Glass Rock, Linville Gorge, and Stone Mountain State Park. Concluding the article were tips to make climbs full of thrills, and minus the chills and spills.
