Cleaning new bouldering problems in Virginia
March 29, 2008
I just returned from a great bouldering session today at a new, yet to be named, area in Virginia. It’s hard to believe that these boulders have not been developed yet due to their proximity to the Appalachian Trail; but the dirt, shrubbery, heavy lichen, and lack of chalk say otherwise.
There are a few local climbers cleaning problems and developing this mini-area so as I get more info I’ll post it. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera today so no pictures yet. I hope to get out there later this week and take some shots and clean some more nice problems.

Registration for New River Rendezvous getting full
March 27, 2008
I’ve heard reports that the New River Rendezvous registration is starting to get full. This year organizers are limiting the event to the first 700 climbers who register in advance.
The fee is only $25 and from my past experiences at the Rendezvous, it will be money well spent.
