Table Rock is a well-known and popular crag on the eastern ridge of Linville Gorge. It is close to a parking lot with a trail-head for the park. There are good easy multi-pitch sport routes on the quartzite cliffs that hang over the gorge. Climbers have been visiting the walls since the 1960's.

Low angle slab climbing characterized by long run-outs with few options for pro, although there are bolts in some places. It is a unique area with a hand-full of classics.

Moore's Wall is one of the premier climbing spots in North Carolina. The quartzite has a lot of texture and there are steep jug lines, slab, and crack sometimes on the same wall.

Central Buttress is in the middle of the wall with great easy routes and great hard routes.
