Cunningham Falls Park
About Cunningham Falls Park:
A small collection of 3 or 4 boulders with a few quality problems can be found along the upper falls cliff trail. The largest of these boulders has problems on all sides-ranging from technical slabs, to overhanging jug hauls, and even a few crimpy problems. If you continue to follow the trail it leads to a small cliff line of mostly choss, but there might be something worthwhile here. The lower falls trail leads to a few sections of overhanging rock protruding from the hill below the trail. Landings are sketchy and problems are dirty and hard looking; serious potential. Both trails eventually lead to the falls where little climbing exists except for one or two decent problems found on a boulder at the top of the falls. |

Access Issues: | None I have encountered, just keep a low profile and avoid the rangers to be sure. Climbing at Catoctin mountain national park is not allowed so maybe the rules are the same in the state park. Don't be obnoxious, be quiet, take everything with you, and leave the hikers alone. |
