Luna is a bouldering area in Tennessee, set within the Lookout Mountain Conservancy POTH land unit. It is managed by a non-governmental organization, and its climbing sits right next to several other bouldering spots, including High Point, Buena Vista and The Boulders on Old Wauhatchie Pike, each about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with seven routes spread across the V0 to V5 range. The easiest are Craters and Finish line, both at V0, and the hardest is Luna Tunes at V5. The Moon Beam Sit, Left route tops out at V4-5. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 73°F in April and 75°F in October, while July and August average highs near 89°F. For a change from the boulders, the Guild Trail and Whiteside Trail are both within half a mile. Paddlers can find Chattanooga Creek about 7 miles away.
