The Line is a bouldering area in Georgia's Rum Creek Wildlife Management Area, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Waterworld, Right Scoop and The Brain all about 0.1 mile away. The area's six boulder problems range from V0- to V5-6, with the hardest being End of The Line. The routes include Next in Line at V0-, Affix Bayonets at V1-2 and I walk with a crimp cuz my nuts heavy at V4, which was first climbed by Hank Rankin in May 2009. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Monticello show October highs around 78°F with lows near 48°F, and April highs around 77°F.
