North End is a climbing area in Tennessee, about 2 miles from the town of Jasper. It sits among several named climbing walls, so it works as a base for exploring the cluster of boulders and rock faces in this corner of the state. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Monteagle show October highs around 68°F with lows near 47°F, and May highs around 74°F. That station sits about 370 feet lower than the area, so temperatures at North End run a little cooler. Point Butress (Main Wall) and Predator Wall are both about 0.1 mile away, and Bonny and Clyde Wall (also known as Drifters Wall) is just as close. For a change of pace, the Fiery Gizzard Trail is roughly 6 miles off.
