It's close to Seneca Rocks, a beautiful place to climb. Lots of classic easy climbs.

Surely she made the mistake. I can't imagine that it was necessary for her to unhook both safety links!
What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

Yeah, that's the point of having two I guess. One's always connected.

I used to climb at Nelson when I lived in Virginia, but I heard that it had since closed down... did it close and re-open??

Climbing is closed there, but not the via ferrata.

Darwin would be proud. Hopefully she hadn't reproduced yet.
The theory of evolution is just as stupid as the theories of gravity and electromagnetism.

There's a place around Seneca called Dolly Sods. I always wondered what it was. For as long as I've climbed around Seneca, I wasn't aware of any other climbing aread in the immediate area.

Dolly Sods is an alpine meadow sort of place. Great hiking and some boulders, but not worth a trip just to boulder.
