Hwy. 215 (BALSM GROVE)

   The highway 215 road cut offers many short but steep routes.  Located just north of the town of Balsm Grove, N.C. and above 4,000 ft. of elevation, ice forms here consistently with just a few days of cold weather.  If you like steep leads and highball bouldering then this is the place.  This area is often choked with gumby topropers so be prepared to fight a crowd.  Updates coming soon!
