Tea and Crumpets Wall is a climbing area on the Cumberland Trail in Tennessee, about 0.1 mile from several other named climbing areas, including Land Between Wall, Main Wall and Deep Creek. The cluster of walls and blocks makes it easy to string together a day of climbing on the trail. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show October highs around 70°F with lows near 47°F, and April is similar at about 71°F by day and 47°F at night. That station sits about 434 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures on the wall run a little cooler. Overlook Mine path is about a mile away, and Soddy Lake Loop is roughly 2.5 miles off. Bouldering Trail and Blue Hole Trail Extension are both within about 4 miles.
