There is a spot in N. Virginia, by Signal Knob, back the road to Catherine Furnace, WAY up and to the left of the road (it is visible from the road). Has anyone ever heard of this spot or climbed there? What is it called, and what is the single pitch on the left with one bolt in the middle and a huge crack to the left rated?

Im Not sure, but i know that there is some pretty good bouldering along the road from strasburg. Thats where I can be found between classes at LFCC... there is some sweet looking crag on the left on the way in from town just inside the border to the national forest, any one checked it out closer? also in the right is a spot where i saw some elementry school kids climbing the other day...... any beta on that area would be swell......

The great and powerful Hans Chlorine knows all!
The area is known as Buzzard Rocks. I've never been there, but here is an old description:
"From VA 55, turn onto Rt. 610 (note sign for Elizabeth Furnace). Go 3 miles to fish hatchery and park in parking lot on left past hatchery. Follow trail to rocks.
Comments: Laybacks, overhangs and huge friction slabs at the top of the ridge. Mean climb to base. Scenic area with two campgrounds."
You guys check it out and let me know if it's any good!
