Ship Rock is one of the jewels of Grandfather Mountain and is alternately referred to as "Rough Ridge," due to the Rough Ridge hiking trail that leads to the craggy summit.
"When the heat of summer sets in, Ship Rock is the place to be. Its looming gray tiers are primarily the domain of the trad climber seeking steep and pumpy routes with generally abundant protection. The wide array of classics from 5.7 to 5.12 makes it worth a vist." excerpt from SELECTED CLIMBS in NORTH CAROLINA by LAMBERT & SHULL.
