[at-l] Rock Climbing revisited

[Stewart_Holt@compuserve.com (Stewart Holt)]

 Mount Yonah is about 20 miles (straight line) from Springer, near
the town
 of Cleveland GA. It has a massive rock top which can be seen from
many
 points along the first 50 miles of the AT. It is used at times by
Army
 rangers and has a number of fixed placements for top ropes. I am
sorry that
 I do not have good directions available. It involves walking from
a
 resturant parking lot a mile or two up a road which is eventually
gated, but
 foot traffic is allowed. If there isever again clear weather in
the
 southeast, you can see from Springer to Standing Indian mountain
from the
 top of Mount Yonah.
