About Mammoth (North Chick)

Mammoth is a small but high-quality sport crag inside North Chickamauga Creek Gorge State Park ("North Chick"), 21 routes across two walls (Waymaker Wall, White Wall) featuring Chattanooga-area Cumberland sandstone. Now officially publicly accessible thanks to the SCC/Access Fund partnership with the new park management. Approach: park at the main lot off Montlake Road, then hike the Upper Hogskin Loop Trail for ~1 mile toward Stripmine Falls. Same rim as Stone Fort. Free TN State Park access — follow posted rules. Cumberland sandstone wet-rock ethic applies.
