Where to climb near DC?

Hi, I've got a free flight to DC from the UK in April. I will only have a block of 3 or 4 days to climb. I'd like to do long multi pitch if possible. Any suggestions would be great (I'm happy to take an internal flight).

Thanks.

Only two choices with less than a 6hour drive. The New and Seneca Rocks. The New is 4-5hours away and Seneca is about 3hours away. The guides here have all the general info.

Might also want to look into Maryland Heights ~2 hours from DC. Signing in at the Park Ranger Station is required. Though it's nowhere near what you'll find at Seneca.

Seneca would be great for just a couple of days

You would probably want a guide, but Old Rag VA. is only 1.5 hours from DC and is loaded with classic crack and slab climbs. It definitely beats the polished, snake infested rocks at greatfalls or carderock.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Lots like it is Seneca or get on a plane.
