The Walnut Wall is Chattanooga ’s most unique urban outdoor climbing alternative! Go to fullsize imageEstablished on a 100 year old limestone tower supporting the Walnut Street Bridge , The  Walnut Wall is a cooperative partnership between the Chattanooga City Parks and Recreation Department and The Adventure Guild.  The Wall opened in 1993, and now, more than twelve years later, it stands proudly as an anchor point of Chattanooga's Coolidge Park on the north shore of the Tennessee River (directly across from the TN Aquarium). The Wall is open seasonally to the general public and for groups on a reservation basis. The Walnut Wall is the perfect in town challenge for both novice and experienced climbers. The Wall is 50 feet high and has 10 top ropes leading to as many as 30 distinct climbing routes ranging in difficulty from 5.3 to 5.11 (YDS). All equipment is provided! Simply show up during the hours of operation and climb!
