Quality traditional routes (routes relying upon removable protection) and boulder problems may be found scattered throughout the park. For example, the cliffs that rise above O&W Road offer amazing multi-pitch traditional, and aid routes (routes in which the climber pulls upon gear) in a spectacular setting. At over 250 feet tall, the cliff directly above O&W Bridge is sometimes cited as the tallest vertical wall in Tennessee. Although the bolting of new sport routes (routes relying solely on fixed anchors) is not currently permitted, a handful of bolted routes may be found throughout the park. The most significant concentration of these routes may be accessed via a short walk in the vicinity of the Blue Heron Mining Community, in the Kentucky section of the park.
