The boulders here are quite amazing for the area, with a huge variety of challenging problems some being monolithic in size. This place hasn't always been open to the public either. It has a rich history of teens from the 70s coming to the top of what they called "Rocky Knob" to drink beers. The ambiance is palpable on a good day with views of Charlotte and the Blue Ridge Mountains on clear days. Though this review is specifically related to my enjoyment of bouldering within the park it is also an access to the ridge trail that goes from Kings Mountain State Park all the way across the spine of mountains that are in Crowders Mountain State Park. Sure to give hikers and trail runners a good time alike.
