I've bouldered in the Cherokee park place, if you go straight down Alta Vista and take a right as it ends, there are little places to pull off. If you pull off at the first or second one and go left there are a couple places with some chalk on them. You can boulder there, but it is almost solely horizontal. It isn't much, but if you just want the feel of real rock on your hands and don't have time to go to the gorge and can't afford the gym, it'll give you something to do.

I've often heard that there's not any outdoor climbing in Louisville to get excited about. I've not climbed at any of these places, so I don't know for sure. But I've gotta agree w/ Hamsco, just make the 1 1/2 - 2 hr drive to the gorge and enjoy.
Lynne, I'm hoping to start climbing again in couple months. I've got to work on my running first. When I try to run now it's more like a hobble. You should see me, it's quite entertaining.

Nope Matt, no climbing. My ankle isn't song enough or stable enough for me to do a mild impact activity such as light jogging. I'ts not ready to take the impact of a fall.
When I do start climbing again, I'll get ahold of ya.

Yup, and depending on where you live a decently long drive. Might as well just go to muscatatuk in Indiana or for that matter drive all the way to the Red.

Hamsco: Where is the wall in Cherokee Park?
Down near Big Rock in cherokee park. It's been a while so I can't give better directions, but you can see it from the road. There's a few 15 ft or so boulder problems that you can top out or a traverse you can do. Two or three of the boulder problems have a single bolt for a toprope anchor and the top, but it's really not worth the hassle to toprope anything.
