Sounds like they climb in sinkholes and caves down there.

Florida Climbing Recommendations

 

There is a gym that I have visited called Aiguille in Longwood, about 25 min north of Orlando. The people there are nice enough. The bouldering isn't on par with Stone Gardens. Better to find a partner and do the roped climbs.

 

I asked if there is any outdoor climbing and the answer was you have to drive to Georga. There is some beach climbing in the panhandle somewhere.

According to Toula, there is some quarry-type areas in Gainsville with the old limestone quarries being up to 60'tall. He mentions the newer ones being sand camouflaged as rock with moccasin-infested pools at the bottom. hellno3d.gif All Private Land but with 60' potential in Florida and outside who can complain.

 

There is also bouldering in Caverns State Park north of Panama City on SRoute 231 and the bouldering on 10' vertical, pocketed oolitic limestone cantfocus.gif under palm trees in Silver Bluff (Miami; see CBS photo above) and a gym at Disney World. well thats all 4 places that toula found in his research...hard to top that. The qoute for this section in his book is by Shakespeare, "There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
