Nestled along the Fiery Gizzard Trail in the Cumberland Plateau, Foster Falls provides great sport climbing for recreational and expert climbers alike.  The majority of routes here are in the 5.10 – 5.12 range, but a few 5.6′s, 5.7′s and 5.13′s exist for those on either end of the bell curve.  Classics like Ankles Away(5.9), Fish Eyed Fool(5.10b), Standing Room Only(5.11a) and Ethnic Cleansing(5.12b) will leave you only wanting more.
