Rock Climbing at Sandrock, Alabama
“Sandrock, Alabama, has something to offer for anyone from beginner to expert. Approaches are short and easy, the climbing is typified by large jugs and horns on friendly sandstone, with pitches averaging 30 - 60 ft. in length. Sandrock is best known for the large number of excellent boulder problems found within its maze. The area is comprised of huge islands of gray featured sandstone with a maze of canyons, passages, and caverns between them, and some beautifully uncharacteristic rock formations. Most routes are easily top-roped, there are a number of fine bolted sport routes, and enough challenges to keep a trad leader on edge. It is a very user friendly area for novices, offering both traditional and bolted routes with little exposure.
” Have you ever considered rock climbing?? I’m sitting here wondering if there is such a thing as “bunny hills”. That’s pretty much where I would need to start! ;) But I know that my daughter would love something like this!!
