Death March Bouldering Area

Virginia > Central & South… > Charlottesville… > Mint Springs Park

Description

A tough area to reach, but some interesting boulders. Most of the boulders here are small but challenging nonetheless.

Another interesting factor for this area is most of the boulders are strewn along a steep section of hill side. So a lot of the landings can be a bit precarious.

Getting There

Park in main parking lot and head up towards Fire Trail for 0.5 mile. When reach junction with Big Survey take right (there'll be wooden bench at trail junction). After a few switchbacks and steep going you'll approach the powerline side trail. Rather than veering off Big Survey Trail continue along for 200 meters or so...the trail will dip down towards a seasonal creek. Look uphill and you'll see the tops of a few boulders....
