Few projects have remained as doable and yet as elusive as Barndoor 2000 at the Stone Fort near Chattanooga, TN.  Decades of suitors have thrown themselves at it head on, but to no avail.

Until yesterday October 20th, 2011.

Jimmy Webb reports on his blog that he sent the rig third try after several attempts the previous day and many seasons of sessions.

So you’ve probably sampled the fine bouldering at the Stone Fort(LRC) in Tennessee, but did you know about its rope climbing cousin?  No, not Leda, we’re talking Deep Creek here.  Located just north of Stone Fort, and sculpted from the same immaculate sandstone, Deep Creek sits above the Cumberland trail and is home to the newest and freshest routes this side of the Mississippi thanks to the efforts of the Southeastern Climbers Coalition.  Join the grand opening celebration on October 22!
