Ice Climbing, Rock Climbing, & Bouldering
Contrary to popular belief, there is climbing in Indiana. We don't have a whole lot to choose from, but we are doing the best with what we have. The main problem with climbing in Indiana is that it is illegal to climb in State Parks where there is some decent rock and a lot of the other good rock is on private property. Most Indiana climbers take a more direct route to Kentucky or So Ill to climb on the weekends.
At least there are a few areas in Indiana that offer the chance to get on real rock.Please respect the rights of land owners. Please do
not post directions to climbing on private property
without the owners consent.
If you have any questions, comments, or prejudice opinions about the Indiana State page please send me a PM. quas.
