Climbing Near Alexandria, Virginia

Pioneered during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, this is a man made wall that blurs the lines between cragging and urban climbing. This area contains a 300ft long stone masonry retaining wall located along Four Mile Run Park with countless potential elimination traverse problems. Rock type varies at each piece of the wall, but much of it is believe to be schist, quartz, and slate. No gear or crash pad is needed since all routes are traverses that do not exceed body heights. There is frequent travel from joggers and bikers commuting along this trail so please do you part to keep your gear contained and tidy to ensure that access to this area will continue to remain open to future climbers. The park is owned by Arlington County and is closed after sundown. From the Weenie Beenie, grab a chili dog and head south on Four Mile Run. After the crosswalk at Shirlington Rd, the wall begins on your left and slowly climbs to shoulder height. The traverse start from base of the wall is still considered and open Project. Head to the first complete horizontal crack across the asphalt path for the start of the Quentin Quarantino traverse.

Generally known by the horrifically corporate "Boeing Fields Long Branch Park", this meadow of astroturf is not without climbing opportunities! On site parking is available, as well as street parking on Long Bridge Drive.

The largest swath of granite in El Nap, riddled with absolute splitters (in the horizontal and vertical flavor). It dominates the eastern portion of the park, and faces west. Full afternoon and evening sun, dries quickly. Visible from most places in El Nap, the approach is approximately twice as far as you could throw a Clif Bar.
