I’m gonna be in northern Georgia next month. It’s not a climbing trip but I plan to boulder a day or two at either Rocktown or Stone Fort, maybe both. l’ll want to do a bunch of easy problems, V0 to V2. Any advice?

Haven't been to Stone Fort but if you go to Rocktown I'd recommend the Hueco Simulator area. Lots of classic easy problems.

Both are excellent for quantity of easy problems.  It more depends on the general nature of the vacation you want.  If you want amazing rock climbing while staying in a more urban area (Air BnB, restaurants, easy to find problems), go to Stone Fort.  If you want a more outdoors experience with camping, and relative remoteness, go to Rocktown.

Rock town. Stone fort is also very good,   But I have always liked the Rocktown better. Your not climbing on a golf course there...

You must have a fishing or hunting license at rocktown/ lost wall. If you're from out of state it can be pricey. This is because it's DNR land

If you are looking for a large, concentrated number of easy problems, I'd go to LRC (Stonefort). It has a short approach to the front area where you can find dozens of quality V0-V2's. I'd take at least two pads, preferably with a spotter as many of them are at least 15 ft.

I’d say stone fort. You can rent pads at a hostel in Chattanooga called the Crash Pad. You can also rent pads from the clubhouse at stone fort but last I knew they were pretty well worn.
