Hocking State Forest Rock
Climbing & Rappelling Area
The
Hocking State Forest Rock climbing and Rappelling
Area, located off Big Pine Road in Spring Hollow, is
the only facility on state land in the county that
permits rock climbing and rappelling. Nearly a mile
of cliff, ranging up to 100 feet, along with
numerous slump blocks, cracks, chimneys, and
overhangs provides a variety of challenges to the
rock climber and rappeller. Your safety is our main
concern. Novices are encouraged to work with an
experienced climber or rappeller who “knows the
ropes.” Because the area is comprised of soft
sandstone, use of climbing aids such as pitons and
chocks is strongly discouraged.
It is much safer to top-rope. The area closes at
dark, campfires are prohibited, and please dispose
of your litter properly.
