Nashville Outdoors

Tennessee "Rocks" when it comes to great rock climbing! From huge cliff faces to large boulders, there is something for every climbing enthusiasts.  A good bit of rock climbing in our state is done east of Nashville, on the Cumberland Plateau. With 300-miles of ridge stretching from Alabama through Tennessee and into Kentucky, the Cumberland Plateau has incredible variety, hard rock, many long cracks and overhangs. This sport requires a lot of  physical fitness, endurance and skill, never try this without experienced rock climbers or a guide at your side!

Rock Climbing & Conservation go hand in hand. Rock Climbers & Boulderers have a certain respect and spend many hours in hard to reach areas of the natural environment. With this unique view, climbers get a chance to check on these out of the way places. Climbers help with conservation by adopting these areas, picking up debris at wall bases, the paths that lead to them and the roads that lead to the paths. Responsible Climbers are known to actually  "Clean the Rocks" that get a lot of use, removing rubs and chalk build up. Next time your headed to your favorite cliff face or standing on top of your favorite boulder, take a few minutes to visually inspect the area. And Thanks!
