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…Read the rest of this entry →

Sentimental Snapshots: Raising the Roof?

Sentimental Snapshots: Raising the Roof?

Ok friends, its time for another rousing game of “Name that Caption.” Oh and by the way, thanks to all who commented on the last Sentimental Snapshot – but I think the gold medal must go to Kevin Jordan from Take a Hike GPS for absolutely nailing it with his roadrunner/coyote comment!  Maybe I should start a giveaway for the best caption…but for now, I guess all I can do is give him a website plug!  So here’s today’s caption challenge… Name that caption… The background is spectacular, right? This shot was taken at the Mass Production Wall along the…Read the rest of this entry →
