Crag X Revealed as Yellow Bluff - We Need Your Help!
A view of a nice roof and rock quality at Yellow Bluff | Just recently, at the final Triple Crown event, the Southeastern Climbers Coalition announced Yellow Bluff as Crag X – the new addition to climbing areas opened, owned, and managed by the SCC. Yellow Bluff is located about 20 miles from Huntsville, Alabama and has been closed since the early 1990's. Many climbers have been asking about the history of Yellow Bluff so the SCC wanted to fill in the public on not only the history of Yellow Bluff, but what is currently being done to secure its access. |
Note: Many thanks to all of the SCC volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes and to Team Yellow Bluff for making this dream a reality.
