Harper's Ferry is a beautiful little town at the very tip of the WV panhandle, about an hour outside of DC. There is a bunch of really good bouldering to be done just out of town, but first we had to cross some tracks to get there...
My bouldering pad comes with legs:
The cool thing about bouldering is that its pretty low key. You don't need and epic face of rock to build strength- its all about exploring the smaller elements of one face. Warming up:
I worked this short little traverse most of the time, utilizing different foot placements, etc:
Up over the edge...
Working the crack:
Traversing around the corner:
Thats it for now. There is a ton of really great rock up there, including this overhang thats wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy over my head right now:
k bai EC out.

Good TR
bouldering is fun.
when i was at UNCC i used to go bouldering and climbing at crowders mtn all the time.
come to think of it i used to do a lot of things back in those days.
i have a pilots license (single engine land),mtn bike, scuba gear, golf clubs, and kayak all gathering dust.
i guess skiing is the one thing i have stayed into.

Unlike me, EC is built for climbing. On foot, a bike, whatever.
