Sandrock, Alabama

This is a very strange place! It's basically a boulder field (some of which are enormously huge and are bolted sport or left to be trad routes). There were a few boulderers there, and a few "climbers" throwing ropes over the top to TR the entire day. The rest where southern rednecks! There was graffiti everywhere, beer cans and garbage everywhere not to mention toilet paper and people "camping" between boulders listening to country music full volume and drinking! Not much of a "trip out into nature"! The bad part - it the parking lot is literally a 5 min walk from the climbs. Cool to see this place - but no need to go back. I would not recommend it for climbers - but maybe for high school rednecks who are looking for a party!
