Corner of Echols
U house
Wintergreen, VA, USA
Come touch granite with me and Colin Wednesday afternoon. Wintergreen is a nice little trad crag about an hour from cville with some great top-rope opportunities. IMO you get one of the best views in Virginia here when you get above the trees. Depending on group vibes, there are some easy cruisers, some moderate cracks, and some high 5.10-5.11 facey mixed routes with good anchors for top-rope. Don’t expect to get crazy volume but everyone should definitely be able to knock out a few climbs and have a good time.
Colin and I are by no means qualified to teach people how to trad climb but we will have the rack and people are welcome to try mock leading (on top-rope) if interested, just keep in mind that you are learning with us and not from us.
Bring:
Climbing shoes
Harness
Belay device if you have one
Chalk
Water
Snacks (separate from chalk)
Headlamp
