Looking Glass Rock
Perhaps the quintessential southeastern US climbing spot , Looking Glass Rock features enough routes to occupy many a full day of adventure . Steeped in history and set in the most beautiful part of the Pisgah National Forest , the massive , white granite dome includes climbs of all varieties and grades providing challenges for novices and veterans alike . For those looking to pull down but stay closer to the ground , the Looking Glass Boulders make a great option . Tucked away beneath the 500-foot-tall North Face of Looking Glass Rock are a handful of classic boulder problems well worth a visit . Thanks to the blocky granite of Looking Glass , the boulders have a unique style unlike most other areas in WNC and make for a great area to explore for boulderers climbing V2 and above .
