		<description><![CDATA[From wallowing in the sunny, upper 90&#8242;s of the Obed a mere 3 weeks ago to bundling up with foggy mornings in the 40&#8242;s at Grayson Highlands this past weekend, one would think we skipped over autumn altogether and moved straight into early winter.  Though the forecast across the Southeast was looking pretty grim, it appeared as though a lone bright spot was hanging over Grayson Highlands State Park with a mere 20% chance of morning drizzles.  However,we soon learned that a lack of actual rain doesn&#8217;t necessarily equal dry conditions.  It seemed as though the higher we drove in&#8230;<a class="contRead" href="http://cragmama.com/2011/09/morning-drizzles-in-the-highlands-aka-life-in-the-clouds/">Read the rest of this entry &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After spending the first part of the weekend hanging out with family, we met up with some friends late Sunday morning up at Grayson Highlands State Park for some bouldering fun.  It was the first time we&#8217;d been back to GHSP since last fall, and I&#8217;d almost forgotten what a spectacular setting it is!  The weather was pretty warm both days, but I&#8217;m fairly certain cooler than the majority of climbing areas in the Southeast. Our first day consisted of a high volume of moderates.  We started out at the Picnic/Rock House Area before ending up at the Cap-Gun Boulder&#8230;<a class="contRead" href="http://cragmama.com/2011/06/memorial-day-madness-at-grayson-highlands/">Read the rest of this entry &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last summer we spent a good deal of time bouldering up at Grayson Highlands, VA.  Its an area that has seen smatterings of activity for many, many years, but only in small pockets of the park.  In recent years, this park has seen a resurgence in development, due mostly to my friend Aaron Parlier, who we met out at Grayson last summer.  Aaron is in the process of writing a guidebook for the area, hoping to have it in the hands of the publisher by the fall. On the day that we met Aaron, we also met Daniel Caudill, who&#8230;<a class="contRead" href="http://cragmama.com/2011/05/parliers-project-a-documentary-of-grayson-highlands-state-park/">Read the rest of this entry &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since I started climbing in 2006, I&#8217;ve been blessed to have the opportunity to climb in so many spectacular different settings &#8211; from the sharp-angled limestone of El Potrero Chico to the steep, intimidating granite on the Chief in British Columbia.  However, one of the more interesting scenery came from an unlikely place &#8211; Manchester Bridge in Richmond, Virginia.  This climbing area is right in the middle of downtown Richmond, and is basically a series of abandoned train trestles that have been equipped with bolts and shutts. &#160; I like how this picture shows that you can find a corner&#8230;<a class="contRead" href="http://cragmama.com/2011/03/sentimental-snapshots-the-urban-jungle/">Read the rest of this entry &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great friends, stellar rock, and perfect weather all add up to a wonderful weekend in Grayson Highlands, VA!  We arrived late Friday night to the campground, and were pleased to find out that it didn&#8217;t get nearly as cold overnight as the forecast had predicted.  After enjoying a nice breakfast with Manbert, we met up with a hodgepodge of folks at the Contact Station before heading to the Olympus/RockHouse area. We warmed up on Cherokee Dihedral (V1), which felt kinda heady for a warm-up, but was a really pretty line up a dihedral with an interesting transition onto the right&#8230;<a class="contRead" href="http://cragmama.com/2010/10/a-perfect-fall-weekend-in-the-highlands/">Read the rest of this entry &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The past few weekends have been really busy for us, but long weekends with spectacular weather are just too tempting to pass up, so we were off to VA again for some more bouldering fun.  After spending a fun evening with Canaan&#8217;s grandparents (both sets!) we were off bright and early the next morning to meet Manbert at Grayson Highlands State Park.  The low humidity and highs in the upper 60&#8242;s felt amazing &#8211; and I sure was glad that I had bought Canaan some fall clothes right before we left! This was a landmark trip for us, since it was the test run with our&#8230;<a class="contRead" href="http://cragmama.com/2010/09/mamas-got-a-brand-new-bag-and-canaans-packin/">Read the rest of this entry &#8594;</a>]]></description>
