very few. most are by the riverbanks zoo, it would be a lot better if the place were cleaned up. I have explored from the riverbanks zoo down to the rosewood landing on the congaree.

There is also some small bouldering problems located on the tracks upstream.

BE CAREFUL. LISTEN FOR HORN. WATCH OUT FOR DRUNK REDNECKS AND TRIPPERS.

The boulders are not visible in high water.

Left or right at the zoo lot? Are these in the water, near the water, or near the railroad tracks?

both in and out of the water, it all depends on the water levels. Again, if you hear a loud horn, get back up on the bank either near the road or towards the zoo, this alarm is signifying a release upstream.. great for kayakers.. crap for climbers. I will post some pictures on here to give you an idea of the low water boulders, however if you want to see what they look like with water over them, or how much water actually gets released, check out : http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River_detail_id_1700_

Do you know of any other boulders around this area along the saluda or anywhere for that matter?
