Climbing Near San Antonio, Texas

Limestone cliff band in a creek bed just off of the paved trail. Just starting to explore this area for boulder problems definitley dirty but looks to be mostly decent rock. Very shady which is a plus. Cathedral Rock Park is located in San Antonio in the 8000 block of Grissom Road.  Park in the parking area and follow the hike and bike trail to the east. You will see the area on the left just before the long metal bridge that crosses the creek.

LBJ park is mostly comprised of baseball fields and a skate park, but for climbing purposes it provides trail access to the limestone bluffs on the opposite side of the Salado Creek from the Salado Creek Greenway. The rock here is very crumbly, mossy, and covered in a thin layer of dirt. There are some sections of the limestone bluff however where the rock is solid and promises a few short routes. Additionally there is at least one climbable boulder. With proper protection this area offers several overhangs and interesting climbing for locals who don't have the time to drive out to E-rock and are desperate to climb anything. As as of writing this, this area is completely undeveloped. Many boulders are strewn about, although they are in general too small to be interesting. The easiest way to get here is to park at the far end of the Lady Bird Johnson Park parking lot next to the "LBJ Trailhead at Dog Park" as it is listed on google maps, and head south. The limestone bluff should be instantly visible from the trailhead.

Shaded area with one significant boulder and a short wall. Not a gem but a good place to check out if you need an outdoor fix. If you do need some of the pics for reference, refer to rocklimbing.com since it also has this area. The pictures won’t show as clear if it were copied on here. Drive towards UTSA boulevard and turn on Valero way towards the Hill Country Apartments. Park in any of the Visitor Parking spots so you won’t get fined. Walk towards the trailhead, turn left on the first bridge and the boulders should be on the left.
