Tales of a Scab Eater

Chattanooga, TN. I know there are boulder fields there that few have seen and supposedly they are amazing. But who can really say? They are also jealously guarded so these rumors of the best highballs, or amazing rock quality could simply be the tell tales of elitists. Wouldn't it be easy to convince anyone that a boulder field is "badass" if they did not know where it is and were never going to find out. Wouldn't that just make you want to find out more? All to often I have been told tales of phenomenal boulder fields that are in my area and after much research, looking at satellite images and topo's, even throwing the occasional bribe in there "Hey you show me your boulder field and I'll show you where to get a first ascent" sort of deal, I have hiked, trespassed and even bullshitted my way into these mythical boulder fields only to be severely disappointed, heart broken even. So Chattanooga, you haborer of climbing elitists, I will give you a word of warning; if one person cannot keep a secret, two sure as hell cannot! Get ready to be infiltrated.
