"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

ClimbsI don't know if you're into technical climbing or would even want to haul the gear up Old Rag, but the Falcon guide "Rock Climbing Virginia, Maryland, and West Virginia" has a section on Old Rag listing around 100 technical routes, some very difficult.

Re: ClimbsI have done only a few technical climbs and have never led, but I definitely want to get more into it. I have read some about the climbs available on Old Rag--thanks for the resource. Have you ever done any climbing there?

Re: ClimbsNot on Old Rag, but I have done some free soloing on Little Stony Man Cliffs and the Lost Cliffs. I actually made some pages for those crags back in April, so check them out if you're interested-- and I'm not asking for a vote! I also made a page for Rocky Mountain and attached a route that shows and describes some cliff climbs in the Big Run area. I know SNP very well, so if you're ever interested in ideas for great hikes, feel free to ask.
