Description Suggest change

The middle cluster of boulders at Bishop Mountain. This sector has the bulk of established problems with approaches ranging 2 to 15 minutes and V-grades from V0-V10.

Getting There Suggest change

From Huntsville: Take Hwy 431 towards Guntersville and turn right onto Guntersville Dam Road. Continue straight. Once you pass the right turn for Walker Road, the parking area will be the next gravel lot on the left. Please park appropriately to make room for other user groups.

From the parking lot, walk straight into the woods then slightly left to find the Hope Boulder. At this point, walk left behind Hope boulder. The trail splits and you can go left up hill for 15 minutes to the main cluster of boulders or right traversing the hillside for 5 minutes to Road Block.
