Outside the Crazy Freakin' Rockheads, any VA climbers climb in Alum Springs? If no, you'll like it, you really should take a look at comin by. It'll be good times.

Some directions out to this place might be nice.... Hook me up with those and I am sure I can make it out sometime this summer. Love sandstone.

thank you lazyboy, good directions. for the trails you simply park and walk through the trees toward the swings and other jungle gym areas and right on through, you get to where you looking straight at a creek, you turn left and you end up right under it all.

you can rope it or trad it if you want, but it's all bouldering for most of the kids in town that use it. great sport nonetheless. no bolts= no sport, sorry guys.

Hello everybody! My girlfriend and i just returned to Mary Washington College (well i guess now its a University), we are jr's and would love to have more people to climb with. We live up north and have only indoor experience. We also have found the bouldering spot down by the river, and would love to meet a few of you who live in the area. We got the crash pad, now looking for some fun experienced people to learn with. Please let us know if any of you are interested. Thanks, Ryan + Brittney

Hey does anyone know how to locate the route "Eastcoast Hangover"? the description is extremely vague. Also, has anyone gone along the stream to the right? There is another set of small cliffs that I found today but it was too muddy to climb.

I would suggest to all who climb here, realize that all of the lines you are looking at, including variations and sit-starts have been done. I would suggest doing some research, before you all start putting FA's next your name.

Hello all, I've been climbing here for a while, I'm wondering how many routes you may all know of and if you would be interested in swapping beta. I have worked and sent about a dozen problems, many of which are different than what I have seen posted. Please send me a message if anyone would like to swap some beta. Thanks!
