I've made tons of international climbing connections that come to climb in the south. Im actually meeting 2 people from France at the Red River Gorge this weekend (another world class sport crag- 3.5 hr drive). Atlanta, largest airport in the country = 1.5 hr drive from Chat. San Francisco = 3.5 hrs from yosemite, 6 hrs from bishop, 8 from Joshua Tree.

There is a huge difference between "good" (and climbing around Chattanooga is certainly good) and "the best in the world".
