Climb the Forest! Beginner/Intermediate Bouldering Off the Blue Ridge Parkway!

OVERVIEW

The Forest is a really cool looking bouldering area just off the Blue Ridge Parkway that was largely mapped out (far as I know) by UVa’s own Professor of neurobiology Barry mothaf-ing Condron (the dopest professor I’ve ever had probably).

It’s about an hour outside Cville so we’re gonna try to leave around 9:30, climb and chill there for 3-4 hours, then head back in time for y’all to pregame the pregame (if you’re into that sort of thing). Bring noms for to eat because we will be there most of the day!

Most likely we’ll be hitting up the Great Circle boulders but we may also check out Mushroom and Roadside bolders while we’re out there. Bouldering experience is a plus but not required. Below is the dope guide Prof. Condron made and put out fo’ free like a badass.
