Climbing

Sunset Park, situated along the western slope of Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga, offers exceptional opportunities for single-pitch trad climbing in Tennessee.

Sunset Park holds significance for both climbers and those fascinated by the Civil War. Lookout Mountain served as a crucial vantage point for monitoring troop activities during the siege of Chattanooga. Climbers initiated their conquest of the splendid sandstone formations in the 1960s, and Rusty's Crack, one of the initial ascents, still stands as a revered benchmark.
