Welcome Suggestion

Virginia is for lovers; and we climbers all love pulling on quality stone. Whether it is trad, mixed, sport, or bouldering that you are looking for, the Old Dominion State has plenty of rock that's just lookin' for love.


Check out Great Falls, Old RagElizabeth Furnace, or Breaks Interstate for lots of fun and exciting Trad and TR routes. These fine areas, along with most of the other trad and TR areas in VA, are generally located in gorgeous parks and unique settings. Keep watch for many other areas that are being established across the Old Dominion.


Check out Iron Gate(CLOSED), Breaks Interstate or the recently re-opened Hidden Valley for some great sport routes. Breaks is a sport climbing mecca-in-the-making with an untold number of potential routes to be developed and a great number recently established, high quality sandstone routes. Hidden Valley is a gorgeous sport climbing paradise in Appalachia boasting over 300 routes, just off of Interstate 81.


There is a vast amount of quality bouldering opportunities scattered across Virginia. All across the state you'll find high quality boulder fields, great local areas, and small obscure spots throughout VA with many noteworthy fields found in the Southwestern corner. Mcafees Knob has tons of great bouldering and The Cascades is an up-and-coming favorite. For the best warm-weather bouldering in VA, and the largest established boulderfield in the state, be sure to visit Grayson Highlands State Park.
