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.

Its always good to find new places to climb! You can usually tell if someone else got there first too…
So I’m new to Charlottesville, VA, just got here from Boulder, CO and i’m tryin to find a nearby spot to get at some boulders. Anyone got beta for me? It would be so appreciated. Thanks!
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/
Any updates on this development? Particularly maps…Thanks.
Sorry Steve. I moved away from the area.
