Just wondering if anyone has bouldered here and what you thought of it.

Been there and liked it. Not a bunch of really hard problems that I'm aware of, but a lot of 3's and 4's. It's supposed to be grit like in England.
Here's a small map:

It's ok,the rock is like gritstone,very rough on the tips.Morgantown,about 30 min away has a good micro brew.The problems were for the most part,good/fun.If you've never been there it's worth a trip,but i think boone is better.didn't camp so can't say anything about that.

Cooper's is fantastic! There are stacks of bitchin' classics! You would love "Electric Ave." It is a nice highball finger crack problem.
You should go to boldering.com and get up with niceporch or nate. They live up there, are really cool, and can show you all the goodness.

Cool, thanks for the info. Will one spotter and two pads be enough for the problems here or are they mostly highballs?

Funny you asked this question SCIN. We drive by this place on our way to DC and most recently our trip to Maine. Thinking about checking it out next time we're out that way, maybe August if it isn't too hot. Its like 6 hours from Lexington, interstate the whole way.

last fall I wanted to go and printed off some topo that sucked, cuz Jeff took one look at it and said "ok this will be a trip for you cuz there's nothing here above V2 or so" and it turned out to be great. He loved it, the boulders just keep coming, endless stuff to climb on. Go there...
