Linville Gorge Wilderness - Pinch-In to Rock Jock Loop - Pisgah NF | 3-day Backpacking Report 

This was my wettest trip of the year so far! Hopefully it retains this throne for the remainder of 2020

Another great one, thanks sir. In ‘93 I had one hell of weekend at the gorge. Use to live in Boone back then. Always felt lucky to have made it out. It’s a beast.

unique area for sure! been there

Great content keep it up!

Thanks for putting together, nice views despite the weather, great positive attitude, man! Happy trails

Another great hike Layne. Thanks for sharing.

I dig your videos! I found them via NCtrails reddit

Really great little trip write-up. You did great considering the weather. Rockjock has several side trails that run out to viewpoints and these are spectacular..but the rain and fog gave you no view. If you do it again in better weather, you'll enjoy some of these little side-trails. I am disappointed that more hikers dont re establish the connection that once existed between Pinchin and the south terminus of Rockjock. That steep exit trail you used is labeled Rockjock on the USFS map but it is a much older trail called Mossy Canyon Ridge Trail (MCRT). Rockjock once extended south to Pinchin and beyond along the west rim of the Gorge and the scenery was great. Someday I hope that connection will be reopened.
