I have never been on a bouldering trip before and was wondering what the decent destinations were in the eastern US. I have checked out rocktown and hp40 online but have heard other names mentioned on here that have been difficult to get good information about. Distance from Louisville is a factor as getting time off from work/school can be difficult, although farther suggestions might become an option for spring break. Also, if anyone knows which areas have decent concentrations of V4 and under that would be cool too. Thanks.

Definitely go to rocktown and HP40. Those 2 places alone should keep you entertained for a very long time. There really are only a handful of places in the country that can compete with the quantity and quality of the bouldering in those 2 spots.
So ill is fairly close, but it's a much more find a problem and climb it, not really a place for worrying about grades. I really enjoy it, Dixon Springs is one of my favorites, kind of small, but a lot of unexplored stuff and just a nice park all around.
