Description

Unlikely Wall was created when IN-37 was built leaving behind a limestone wall above the highway. There are both bolted routes and boulder problems to be found here. Although the rock can be very chossy in spots there are good climbs to be found. Please be aware that there are some bolts that have been cut, usually the first bolt of the climb. A stick clip easily reaches the second bolt.

**Please, don't light fires here. An old firepit has been found close to Tennyson, with a bunch of old cigarette butts in it. Please be mindful of the crag.

Getting There

Option 1: From Bloomington take HWY 37 South to Harrodsburgh Exit. Park under the overpass. Locate the trail leading to the roadcut on the West side of the overpass.

Option 2: From Bloomington take HWY 37 South and about 1 mile before the Harrodsburgh Exit park on the pullout on the right or drive up the dirt track to the top of the hill.
