Waterworld is a bouldering area in Georgia's Rum Creek Wildlife Management Area, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits among several other climbing areas, including The Line, The Brain and The Throne of God, all within about a tenth of a mile. The climbing here is all bouldering, with 11 routes spread across the V1 to V10+ range. The easiest is The Lazy River at V1, and the hardest is the open project DYNO!!, which is rated V10+. The median grade is V5, so the area offers a range from beginner to advanced boulders. 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. Summer highs climb into the low 90s. For a change from the rocks, the Hitchiti Trail and Hitchiti Loop Trail are both within about 3 miles.
