Me and 3 of my buddies are taking a road trip in early march from NH to New orleans for a concert and want to spend a week climbing on our way back north. we are probably just going to focus on bouldering and maybe a little sport climbing anywhere from v0-v7. if anyone knows any good spots with enough problems to spend a day with and camping around i would really appreciate the beta. We are definatly going to horseshoe ranch in AK but we want to find some places in TN, NC, VA, PA and anywhere in between. if anyone has any info beyond the route listing on this site, please let me know! Thanks!
-Garrett

Honestly, the choices are so many I wouldn't even know where to start. If I were you, I'd either: be more specific as to what you are looking for and in what state, or do some looking at the rc.com information for each of those states.
Seriously - between NC and TN alone you have a lifetime of bouldering and climbing. Whatcha lookin' for?

Early March for the NC mountains can be VERY unpredictable weather wise. March on average has the highest precipitation for both Boone and Asheville (check weather.com). That precipitation could range from the liquid type...to some of the deepest snow storms that NC gets.

I think two of the best boulder fields in the southeast are Horse Pens 40 and Little Rock City (some now call it the Stone Fort). Horse Pens is in North East Alabama, and you can camp right next to the boulders in a neat little campground. Its def. my favorite place to go. Little Rock City, however, doesn't really have good camping nearby (or at least none that I know of...maybe someone else knows). There is also rock town, and really there are just tons of half-decent boulder fields around the area.
As for routes, the best sport is at The Red River Gorge in KY. You just camp at Miguel's....its a pretty sweet place. In TN, you have The Obed and Foster Falls, but they are not as good as the red. There is also some sport at Sandrock, AL, which is just about an hour or so from Horse Pens.
