Bouldering in Atlanta

Post by Rain Man »

I'm in Atlanta this and next weekend and heard a rumor there was a place to boulder within city limits in a park somewhere. Can anyone on this list confirm or refute that claim? I don't have anyone to climb WITH, so bouldering is all I can do to practice.

Boat Rock is the place I think you're thinking of. Check out drtopo.com for more info.

That's right on. Hell, as it turns out, I am closer to Rock Town. Heh---I always wondered what Rock Town was when I would drive past on I-75.

:D

Actually, there is some bouldering in Piedmont Park in downtown. It's a tall rock retaining wall. Not all that special, but if you are stuck in downtown, you could check it out. Otherwise, Boat Rock is the place to go. Rock Town if you are further north.
