Cleaning new bouldering problems in Virginia

 

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.

    Carlin, you may want to try Second Mountain outside Harrisonburg http://www.drtopo.com/guidebooks/usa/Virginia/134

    Also try Moormans Boulders in Charlottesville http://www.rockclimbing.com/routes/North_America/United_States/Virginia/Central/Moormans_Boulders/
