Area updates, videos, and more

Just a few quick updates of the goings on in SWVA:

Big fire out in Rockingham county...virtually shut out 2nd Mtn the other weekend. Apparently, it was impossible to boulder w/o a respirator.

Back in Giles, a far to common scenario in the South came to a conclusion. Mountain Lake, home to Dirty Dancing and a small collection of boulders has been under a temporary closure while access, liability, etc was evaluated by the land owners. Local climbers with the help and voice of the Mountain Lake Conservancy plead the case to the Board over the course of several months. Unfortunately, the board chose to make bouldering on the property an unsanctioned activity and now consider it prohibited.

To not end on a bummer...a few quick videos.
