Climbing Near Arlington, Virginia

The Led Zeppelin boulders are a small cluster of boulders that sit on the Potomac Heritage Trail just north of Windy Run Park. They are mostly easy climbing on decent rock, but there are a few hard problems on extremely high quality rock as well. Because this area is right on a trail that hikers enjoy, please consider not bringing large groups, brush away your tick marks and chalk, don't listen to loud music and maybe try to be a good steward by picking up a few pieces of trash each time you go (there's always some). Just be considerate of the other folk on the trail and access to the rocks can remain uncontested. To get there, park at the Windy Run Park parking and hike down to the Potomac River. When you hike down the steps by the waterfall, take a left to go upstream. Hike for about 10 minutes or so until you get to the obvious cluster of boulders on your left. While there are other rocks more spread out, most of the problems are in this one spot.

Foundation of Custis Memorial Parkway has old blocks that are separated enough to create perfect finger jams and the lucky jug or two, about 20ft plus top out, sharp edges provide crimps, lots of crack at a perfect 90 degree angle. Plenty of routes in a very urban environment, expect some people as along a paved running and bike path, but most will not get in the way as there is grass for the setup and belay, definitely enough room for a crash-pad as well. Approach via Washington Old Dominion Trail, can park by the basketball courts or along the street if you're lucky, access by foot from four mile run as well

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.
