Description

The Junction is a beautiful little spot easily accessible for the NRV. It hosts a handful of TR/Trad routes and then two brilliant 4th class ridge scrambles. This little zone has a choose your own adventure feel and more than likely has potential for more adventure climbing if you feel so inclined, specially on the upper faces of the ridge.

This location is also home to some great water access where you can paddle the white water of Big Falls, enjoy a lazy tube down the New, or just some hanging by the shore! Also nearby is the popular New River Cave, which can keep you occupied for hours!

Getting There

The Junction is located on Big Falls Rd. (State Rt. 625) in McCoy, VA. The climbing is exactly at the "Big Falls Rapids" across the train tracks. It's nearly impossible to miss the slabs at the base when looking from the road. The tuber takeout is on private land so no parking but across the street there are plenty of pullout options. Just be mindful of the traffic and park appropriately.
