The bouldering on the Saluda River is located at Riverbanks Zoo near downtown Columbia...pretty easy to find. However, the water level may be above the boulders this weekend. We've had a lot of rain so they have been releasing water from the dam several miles up river.

also, to be completely honest, no the bouldering area is not worth finding. it's small and there's nothing really exciting about it. you'd have a much better time finding good rock if you stopped by north carolina on the way.

however, if you really want to climb, you can pull down on some plastic at Stronghold Athletic Club on Huger Street, just south of the intersection with Gervais. It's a good gym.
