Just wanted every one to know that I plan to climb Woodall Mountain next January
We should do a split venture where TDers go and climb their state's highest peak on a single day. It'd be good publicity. We can even get sponsors to sponsor the climbing team.

I will have to work my way up to Cheaha in AL. It is 2413 ft. Woodall seems like a good starter.

Cheaha Mountain /'t?i?h??/, often called Mount Cheaha, is the highest natural point in the U.S. state of Alabama. It is located a few miles northwest of the town of Delta in scenic Cheaha State Park, which offers a lodge, a restaurant, and other amenities.
The highest point is marked with a USGS benchmark in front of Bunker Tower, a stone Civilian Conservation Corps building with an observation deck on top. The CCC also constructed a road to Cheaha, but the road has been closed for years. The old road is known as CC Road and contains interesting ruins. Near the peak is Bald Rock, which was recently improved with a wheelchair-accessible wooden walkway that provides an impressive overlook of the surrounding region. The entire area gives an impression of being at a much higher elevation than it actually is, in part because of the relatively low elevation of the adjacent area to the west.
Bunker Tower on top of Cheaha Mountain
Cheaha Mountain is part of the Talladega Mountains, a final southern segment of the Blue Ridge, unlike other elevations of the Appalachians in north Alabama, which are part of the Cumberland Plateau. The mountain also has the unique distinction of being the highest geographical point in the eastern portion of the Sun Belt (south of Interstate 20, and north of the Gulf of Mexico). Geologically it is composed of weakly metamorphosed sandstones and conglomerates of the Cheaha quartzite, of Silurian / Devonian age,[3] and stands high topographically due to the erosional resistance of these rocks.

I scaled Guadelupe Peak in Texas in 2009. I can do it again...
It's just a bit higher. Like 4000 ft of vertical elevation change over 4 miles...so that's like what a 0.5% grade?
Same deal.
Actually, your mountain may be steeper.

Spruce Knob at 4,863 ft., tallest mountain in the Alleghenies and the highest point in West Virginny.
Been there, done that. (It's easy, think Mount Mitchell in NC)
Not my picture but a picture:

Have you done any part of the AT? Even just a day hike? Is that peak on it?

I have climbed most of the worthwhile peaks in the GSMNP. Clingman's Dome, Mt Leconte, Mt Guyot, Gregory Bald, etc.
Here's the LL/ULotoT's favorite outdoor destination in The Jelly State.

I've hiked parts in NC and VA, the whole AT is bucket list material for retirement time.
