Hmmm....
The hike up into the Smokies wore me out.

What do you see as the hardest climb in the South? Going into the Smokies?

That climb, which continues to Cheoah Bald, is a long slog up, that's 
for sure. 


I've taken Boy Scouts there a couple times and the problem is once they 
reach the shelter it's hard to get them up the last 1/2 mile or so to 
the top.


This weekend we're headed to Snowbird Mountain, starting from the 
Waterville exit on I-40, which is another fun climb with a rewarding 
view at the top.

I never thought there was much to it. Been South 2-3 times and North 
4-5 times there. Not absolutely sure.

My opinion of hardest climb in the South was NOC to Sassafras Gap. But 
everyone feels differently.
