It's a nice, short hike to the climbing area, but not bolted or well-climbed. We set up top ropes and got dirty- bugs and dirt fell with every move on these secluded rocks.

East Palisades Trail June 2016
After climbing at the gym for 6-8 weeks, I finally picked up a regular climbing partner (who's still around!) He's been climbing for 2 years and took me to Palisades in June 2016 for some climbing. That was the first climbing trip Eira joined me on (lab mix puppy, pictured).

Sand Rock May 2016
I moved to Atlanta in March 2016, started climbing in April at a local gym, and went on my first climbing trip outside in May. Someone I met at the gym took me to Sand Rock, Alabama (Cherokee Rock Village). We camped one night and climbed during the day.
Beautiful spot to camp, and lots of accessible climbs, with short, easy hikes to the starts. We parked maybe 100ft from the camp site, and there was a shower room a 2 minute walk up the road.
That was before I got addicted and started photographing every part of every trip, so I just have this gorgeous shot of where we camped.
