This is combination of two weekends worth of random events and trips. Lets start off with the most important one, the stainless steel barrel hunt!
Bradley Falls – Winter Exploration Trip
Bradley Falls
In the morning we awoke to sleet, freezing rain, and all around awesome weather for climbing. Taking this as an exploring rest day, we decided to pack up, drink a lot of coffee and go to a new area, none of us had been too. However, first I took in the sights of the Apple Belt of NC.
Rumbling Bald: Tail of the Cat
All Cats, All Day
In-between the cold snaps and polar vortexes, time was scheduled to go explore some of the lessly traveled walls at Rumbling Bald. Luckily and to my surprise, Jason had a cabin about 30 mins away from the Bald which he offered to let us stay the night at.
Rumbling Bald: Way Out Left
Only this drawing exists of the trip
I met Matt, Jason, and surprise guest “Bob” at Rumbling Bald on a Saturday morning. I had to do the AM wake-up and drive to make sure I got a spot at the parking lot. We met around 9ish and had a game plan to check out some new sections in the guide book.
Whitewater Center with Jason and Barnoff

We were graced with the awesome pleasure of entertaining Barnoff and Jason for a weekend. The activities of the weekend would be whitewater center fun, plus beer.
