Good folks at The Southeastern Climbers Coalition (SCC) purchased land to get this gem open again in 2006. However, beyond the clear boundary at the left end of the coalition's stone, is private property and strictly off limits to climbers. The re-opened area is sandstone with a mix of quality traditional and sport routes.

The boulder fields at Moss Rock have been a destination for southern climbers long before neighborhoods were built near by. There are a ton of bouldering problems and a few short top rope routes. If you work around town it's a quick way to get on rock after work. The main boulder fields are just a short walk from the upper lot. Really muggy this time of year, but still better than the gym!

Well-known as one of the best bouldering areas in the southeast, Horse Pens has a dense concentration of rocks with bulbous faces, blunt prows, delicate slabs, crimpy overhangs, and water grooves. It's private property with a camp store, showers, and options for camping.

This is one of the great southeastern sandstone crags that has great traditional climbing. There is a variety of cracks in hard sandstone. Although the approach is short, it does not usually have a lot of people.

Hard sandstone that is typical of this part of the southeast. Also, this area was re-opened by the SCC after being closed for a couple decades because of private property ownership.

This is an outstanding bouldering area on top of a finger ridge called Pigeon Mountain. Many interesting sandstone blocks are scattered over more than 100 acres. It is a common venue for bouldering competitions, and some folks do top roping on bigger boulders.

Long south facing cliff, close to parking in Lookout Mountain State Park. There are long corridors and oddly textured gritty climbs with flat sandy bottoms. The park brings a lot of people that may not be there for climbing, but the climbing is great.

About ten routes on the outcrop at the west end of the climbing at Sand Rock. Look for the obvious elongated formation near a recessed cave on a ledge above the trail.

This wall has short routes right next to the parking lot. It offers boulder problems and some short lead routes.
