Details
Please do not climb on wet rock, especially footholds. If a hold is wet, and you are unsure if it is fragile or not, go climb something dry. Caking a hold in chalk only dries the surface of the rock and does nothing to actually make a hold less friable.
If you use chalk on the rock, brush it off when you are done. If you use tick marks, brush them off when you are done. Wipe your feet off prior to each climbing attempt. Excess chalk and any dirt, leaves, or mud can polish holds over time. Do not drag your pad from one climb to the next (in order to minimize erosion). And most importantly, Leave No Trace. Pick up your trash and place it in the trash cans at the trail head.

Description
These cool boulders are along the Rattlesnake Trail, concentrated below the cliff known as Rattlesnake Point (which has a lot of fun toprope routes.)
Getting There
Park at the Overlook Parking area and hike the Rattlesnake Trail to the boulders. Another approach is to park at the Picnic Boulder Parking area and hike the Rock City Trail to Lower Rock City and backtrack to the boulders along the Rattlesnake Trail. There is also a connector from The Rock City Trail to the Rattlesnake Trail at The Axe Head Boulder.
