In my quest for some local bouldering here in Blacksburg, I went to check out the boulders at Mountain Lake, Virginia (yes, from Dirty Dancing fame) which is only about 20-25 minutes away. From RockClimbing.com, I found this section describing the bouldering. I found quite a few decent sized boulders there, but they were all covered in lichen and/or moss. I found one problem worth doing and it was probably around V4. That was about it though. Everything else looked unclimbable and I saw no traces of any problems being cleaned or established. Maybe its the summertime… ? If anyone has any additional beta on this area, please let me know. I may have completely missed some great problems, who knows.

Hey whats going on. I go to Bald Knob/Mountain lake at least once a week to go bouldering. There are a few spot me and my buddies have found. Email me if youre still in the area and want to know more where these boulders are!

Thanks Colin, but I moved to Colorado and won’t be back anytime soon.
I’d be happy to post any info on the area you’d like to share though.
