Boat Rock Climbing

Sharp granite bouldering. Years ago there was a TR competition but with the advent of modern crash pads, most people just boulder. Some problems can be high off the deck, but there is still plenty to do for those who don't bring an army of spotters and pads.

Most of the problems are slabs. There are, however, a few overhanging things around and a few nice crack problems as well. The boulders are part of the Ben Hill batholith intrusion, a massive deposit of igneous rock that hardened below ground hundreds of millions of years ago. 

It's very similar in formation to what is found at Stone mountain, Panola mountain and Arabia mountain but is only just now being revealed by the process of erosion. These are not erratic boulders left from glacial retreat.

The climbing is surrounded by a housing district. The boulders used to be twice as many, but many were blown up to make way for more development. Luckily, the Southeast Climbers Coalition (SECC) stepped in and bought the rest of the land that the rocks are on and saved what remains. Please stay on established trails and don't climb on private property.
