Bouldering
Grayson Highlands has become known as the best bouldering site in Virginia. The parks mountainous slopes are home to four main boulder fields and three smaller fields with over 700 named climbing routes, also known as problems. The parks geology is unique to most bouldering areas in the southeast.Climbers will find Rhyolite at the higher elevations and a metaconglomerate in a quartzite matrix elsewhere in the park. These rock types provide steep faces with angular features including rails, flakes and edges that ensure bouldering opportunities for climbers of all skill levels. The park has a crash pad available to rent, and carries chalk, chalk bags and the new Grayson Bouldering Guidebook.
