Resurgence Walls is a climbing area in North Carolina, about a mile from the town of Mountain View. It sits alongside other climbing spots, with Boulders and Trundlasaurus Wall each about 0.1 mile away, and Rawlhide Wall at a similar distance. Hikers can reach the Backside Trail within 0.2 mile. The area is small and compact, with four routes in all. The climbing styles run from mixed to sport and trad. Grades range from 5.6 to 5.10+, with Plane Above Your Head at 5.10a and Plain On The Left at 5.10+. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Gastonia show October highs around 74°F with lows near 51°F, and April is similar at about 74°F by day and 50°F at night. That station sits lower than the walls, so expect temperatures here to run a little cooler.
