Tons. Two fins of towering rock, similar to Seneca. Lots of loose rock though. Bolted and trad. Lots of moderate stuff. Multi-pitch as well. Check out

Stu is a cool guy, I think he owns wvclimbing.com as well as Nelson Rocks Preserve. Some of the routes are listed here:

Its a nice anti-scene from Seneca Rocks. At least it used to be, now that there is a website and the area has made it into a guide I'm sure it is busier. About 3 years ago we'd go there and be the only people there. It has more of a crag like feel than Seneca and there are several bolted moderate lines. Weather is probabbly similar to Seneca and the rock climbs aobut the same. If you go check out Ed's Fudge Shop that line is super sweet.

nelson was this crazy fucker who used to create these big chunks of rock that we now climb on. one day he got this crazy idea to make this super thin and fairly tall rock fin that should just fall over but hasn't, we call it seneca. Nelson rocks is just seneca's little brothers
