Main Cliffline is a climbing area in Tennessee, about 1.4 miles from the community of Sugar Tree Knob. It is a destination for climbers looking for a place to set up on the cliffline. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Woodbury show October highs around 74°F with lows near 44°F, and April is similar at about 72°F by day and 43°F at night. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet below the cliffline, so temperatures up high run cooler. Paddlers can find the East Fork Stones River about 3.7 miles away and Clear Fork Creek about 5.2 miles away, both canoeing routes.
