Trussville Boulders

Alabama

Description

This crag is a blank slate! A group of five boulders in the city of Trussville's sports complex. This area - owned by Trussville - was completed in late 2017 and was worked on by the Access Fund and the Southeastern Climbers Coalition. Difficulty of routes and possible problems vary from beginner to advanced. All boulders, which are relatively close together and in a forested part of the sports complex, have easy access. The boulders do fall along a disc golf course, so be advised of frisbees and other groups. Brushes are good to have to brush off dirt and moss since the crag is not super well established.

Getting There

The boulder field is located just northeast of Birmingham off of I-59 in the Trussville Sports Complex (easily found on Google/Apple maps). Boulders are specifically found on the western side of Riverbend Road when driving into the sports complex, between the baseball fields and the tennis courts and fairly close to the road. Parking is available throughout the facility, but easy approaches can be made from the parking lot just north of the group of five baseball fields (this is also where the Carter Memorial Disc Golf Course starts). When facing north, there is a small trail that leads from the north-eastern most corner of the lot and opens to a disc golf hole. Boulders should be visible shortly after stepping into the woods. If you are unable to find this trail (it is small and not well marked) you can enter at the first hole of the disc golf course and follow the paved trail along the Cahaba River. After about 2-3 minutes, the boulders will be about 1/10 of a mile up on the hill to your right.
