Elevation	365 m
Slope Aspect	178 º

Topographic Position	Upper slope
Landform	Bedrock outcrop/cliff/bluff
Surficial Deposits	quartzite
Rock Type	phyllite
Landscape Narrative	Forested ridge of Blue Ridge Mountain with Appalachian Trail. Behind cliffs are camp sites with tents on sample date. There is an extensive pole-size forest (red oak, chestnut oak, tuliptree, and poplar) on ridge top.;Exposed cliff top and faces of popular climbing / hicking destination along the Appalachian Trail. Site is near contact of Harpers and Weaverton formations, I am guessing the cliff is Weaverton quartzite. Cliff top is probably more open than natural due to clearing and trampling. Cliff is 10-20 m tall with massive angular slabs at base, umbillicate lichens are only on faces, possibly due to trampling (?).
Representativeness	Cliff top and upper faces, sampled near WV/VA border to avoid heavily trampled and currently occupied view area on WV side, the habitat is the same.
