Description
Keller Bend is a South Facing limestone cliff along the Tennessee River. The majority of the climbs are bolted.
The first climbing occurred in the early 1970s when Bob Cormany began top roping long routes up and across the 200' slab face. Since that time the area has seen long dormant periods and occasional development. Several bolts have been found which date from the 80s and into the early 2000s.

Getting There
The only legal approach is by boat. It is a 20-30m paddle from Admiral Farragut Park or Carl Cowan Boat Ramp. It is a shorter paddle from the boat ramp at then end of Weatherspoon Road in Louisville.
Do not attempt to park or leave a vehicle anywhere along Keller Bend Road. It will get towed and annoy local homeowners.
