Brasstown Bald is a AWESOME climb. For those who have yet to climb it, do it. It is serious fun and great training. A great training tool for those of you attempting the Mitchell ride. I do some serious training in the Georgia mountains once a month for about 4-5 days. One day of that I climb "the Bald" 3 times along with some other climbs. It has sure helped me become a better climber!
