Finding a rock

So, I live in Columbus, Ohio which is probably the most rock deprived city in a rock deprived state, and because of this my outdoor time on days I don't have time to drive somewhere (or money with gas prices this summer) is spent riding my bike around central Ohio. I've developed this fantasy that while riding through one of the metroparks, I would stumble upon a nice size rock which be perfect to ride with my friend to one day and put up a couple decent problems on, but as much as I've looked recently I haven't even found anything scramble worthy.

I realize this will likely remain a fantasy, but there were glaciers here at one point, shouldn't one of them have left a couple rocks behind? Does anyone know what kind of geographic features I could pull out on google maps to find some promising sites?

look by creeks or anything with a hill. I found my favorite bouldering spot while mountain biking last year, and we found almost 20 boulders. Just look around

Build yourself a climbing wall. Save your pennies and look for an area to live in that has them there rocks you are asking about! Wink
