Mickey Mouse Boulders

Virginia > Southwest Virgi… > McAfee's Knob

Description

I am using the problem descriptions from the mini Dr Topo guide that Jay Shultis put out a little while back. Thanks for all the hard work Jay! Ill add in any additional info that I know of as well.

Micky Mouse Boulders are approx 1 mile up the fire road and the approach is easy-going. The boulders are best known for the challenging beginner level climbs. Micky left, and the flake dyno are classic lines for these boulders and are not to be missed. The Micky Mouse Boulders have everything from vertical lines to steep inclines and dynamic cruxes. Your sure to enjoy yourself here!

Getting There

Walk up the fire road for a mile and its on the right.

[Hide Comment] I'm assuming the direct line on the Mickey Face boulder has been climbed by many. It starts the same as Mickey Face Right & Left and climbs straight up, topping out at the highest point of the boulder. Probably about as difficult as Mickey Face Left. Oct 31, 2020
