Bird ban (01-15 to 08-14)
Dillard Canyon routes closed to climbing January 15 through August 14 each year for peregrine falcon nesting. Other Laurel Knob routes remain open. Enforced by Carolina Climbers Coalition and USFS.

About Laurel Knob

Laurel Knob is the tallest crag east of the Mississippi — a remote 1,200-foot granite dome above Lonesome Valley near Big Green Mountain, purchased by the Carolina Climbers Coalition in 2006. Dillard Canyon routes close Jan 15–Aug 14 for peregrine nesting. Granite drains fast; the shaded upper wall stays cool in summer.
