I have to travel to Gallatin,TN for work occasionally. Is there any bouldering nearby? Info would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hey Mike,

There is a limestone area called Toxic Wall. It is below Percy Priest Dam on the Stones river. Take exit #219 Stewarts Ferry Pk. off of I-40, and head south on Bell Rd. Turn left at the next light, and drive across the dam. The lake will be on your right, and the river down below on your left. After you cross the dam, take the first left, then the next left. It is the tail water access road. Drive down to the parking lot, then walk down stream on river right, until you go under the interstate. The wall is right there on your right. Steep limestone, with good landings, and a couple of short sport routes.

I'm sure you've seen this after looking at the Route Guide on MP.
It's not bouldering per se but there are many good traverses and boulder problems at Kings Bluff in Clarksville. It's a sports crag but it's rock and it's easy access.

Going to shoot for Friday around 2pm if anyone wants to join. Toxic Wall by Percy Priest Dam. First time there, so I'll be the guy wandering the area looking confused.

Hey Mike,

Can't make it this Friday, but stay in touch, and I will try to meet you there sometime. 2:00pm is about the best time to go there in the Winter, it will be right in the sun if it's out.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
