Carderock in the news
February 20, 2006
The Washington Examiner has an article on one of my old haunts, Carderock. Located just outside the DC Beltway in Maryland, the crag is a popular (ok, that’s an understatement) crag for those in the DC metro area. Unfortunately, the rock is polished and it’s more crowded than a popular climbing gym.

Building a home climbing gym
February 17, 2006
I’m finally getting ready to start on a long time project - building a home climbing gym in my basement. When we moved to Blacksburg from Northern Virginia, we bought a house down here that had a partially finished basement. I now have more space to build a home climbing wall than I actually know what to do with. My current plan is to start small and gradually build it out as a make mistakes and learn more about the process. I’m going to start with two sections as the framing is already there from when the house was built. The first is a nice four foot wide by ten foot long cave underneath the stairs. There’s a lot that can be done here as both sides of the area are framed as well. I’m planning on just doing the 45 degree cave part first and see how it goes. I know its a bit narrow, but it will be better that the basic hangboard I have hanging there now.
