| The Cliffs of Muscatatuck Park |
|
|
The park is Indiana's best rock climbing area. The area is not the new Hueco or Rock Town. Many of the routes are a bit dirty, but it is still good climbing. There is about a half a mile of cliff. The nature of the rock usually gives one distinct route every five to ten feet. Some problems may have a few variations. A few areas are highly featured and yield easy traverses and "warm-ups". The climbing at the Muscatatuck Park is primarily bouldering. Top roping is allowed. For those browsers who are not familiar with the term bouldering, we shall explain: "Bouldering is a form of rock climbing in which no ropes or gear are used because the climber is usually at a safe distance to withstand a fall. Boulderers do bring pads with them these days, to minimize injury potential. The main goal of bouldering is to work on hard problems, to be doing only a few moves, yet the moves are so difficult that it will take repeated attempts to successfully climb the boulder problem." |
