Details
Please do not climb at Locust Grove. Local climbing organizations, advocates, and Access Fund are working to address recent No Trespassing signs.
Description
Trad and sport routes, many TR friendly. The rock is quartzite bedded about 70-80°, making for slabby climbing. This rock is of much higher quality than the nearby chossy routes in the Narrows.

Getting There
Cross the bridge over Braddock Run near the intersection of Alt. US 40 and MD 36. Either take the first right past the bridge and park near the tracks, or park off the road across from the auto dealer. Do not block the brick utility building.
Cross the tracks and scramble uphill beside a retaining wall to arrive near the base of TimBarb wall.
