Climbing Near Bowling Green, Kentucky

A small area by Shanty Hollow Lake. Most of the rock can be found on the way to the waterfall, the main attraction of the place. There are a few boulders worth hoping on and some potential worth cleaning and putting on the map. There are also several bolted sport climbs, but as far as I know nothing is documented about them. If you come to climb, be willing deal with chossy, friable rock and mossy routes. Go to the boat ramp at Shanty Hollow Lake and park in the parking lot. The trail head is at the end of the parking lot. Follow the trail and look to the right for large rock faces. There will be many boulders on your right before you get to the large rock faces that have the sport routes.

A few overhangs with some chossy rock, but potentially some lines. The chossy overhang lines have definitely all been climbed in the past but we gave them names because thats just what we did. If they have other names please comment! From the parking lot, head right along the main trail until the trail heads sharply uphill around a freestanding boulder. The trail will continue past some low overhangs on your right. This area is the Vulture Area.

A few cool highballs and a cool long, short boulder that provides plenty of mantles. At the water fall, follow the trail past it until you reach the second, smaller water fall that you sort of have to go behind to pass by. This area is just after that.
