Calling all climbers to the crag!
If you’ve been at the indoor climbing gym at Athletic Club Alabama during those cold, rainy days, you are well-prepared. Owned by the Southeastern Climbing Coalition, this popular climbing area has easy, moderate and difficult routes with plenty of sport and trad lines to send as hard as you’d like!to take it to the real rocks! With our days longer and sunlight until 7 p.m., Yellow Bluff is just a quick 20-mile drive outside of the city!
Whether you are hiking, climbing, canoeing, sailing, gardening, biking, skipping, hopscotching, or even trampolin-ing, make sure you get your dose of Vitamin D from the charming Mr. Sun this St. Patty’s Day weekend! Don’t forget to find your four leaf clover, too!
