Sucka Right is a climbing area in Tennessee, about a mile from the town of Suck Creek. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, so it works well as one stop in a day of bouldering and route climbing in the area. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show October highs around 67°F with lows near 51°F, and May highs around 74°F. That station sits about 200 feet lower than the area, so temperatures here may run slightly cooler. Main Cave, Blind Mice Boulder and Sucka Boulders all lie about 0.1 mile away, and Sucka Left is just as close. For a change of pace, the Shelton Loop Trail is about 2.4 miles off.
