Climbing at Caesars Head State Park in SC?

If anyone near NC or SC has beta on climbing locations it'd be greatly appreciated! I'm going to Caesars Head State Park with family and none of them climb, but they don't mind me hopping on the boulders for half an hour before we hike. Has anyone been?

Is there anything else unlisted that's also at or near Caesars Head SP? I just want to climb something. I won't have my rope or any gear aside from shoes, so boulders are good (unless there's something with no approach I can convince them to stop at along the drive there up from Greenwood).

Alina, 

I don’t think bouldering is an allowed activity in Cesar’s head,

Im not sure, but it may have occurred in the past.

Be safe and have fun either way!

Thanks, Ezra! Maybe this isn't part of the park? https://www.mountainproject.com/area/119797552/alliteration-wall If it's up-to-date, it seems to be open until May.

Bouldering isn't allowed on any SC State Park lands. This is something the CCC has been working on for a while at places like Table Rock. Rope climbing at Ceaser's Head is also illegal. There is bouldering, aka hiking on rocks, allowed in on some DNR lands.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
