Description
A great addition to the RVA circuit ! Whileaway sits right off of the trail and is partially visible if you look hard enough . Once you get down into the basin this boulder will really get you psyched with a really awesome face that has some techy spicy climbs ! The real test piece is "La Femme Fatale" but the other climbs are well worth the visit. Expect on some of the side boulders to have to negotiate an engaging steep hill which creates pad management chaos muahahaha !! Its actually pretty awesome, because when you are topping out "CHOMP CHOMP" you really feel like you are on quite the highball (but completely safe) ! Anyway come and enjoy !
P.S. Its hard for me to believe that no one has been on this boulder just because of how good it is ... so if any intel comes in , I am happy to change whatever to make it correct.
Getting There
The great thing about this boulder is the short approach ! All you have to do is park at 21st street right across from the footbridge which crosses the track to access Belle Isle (don't cross the footbridge). To reach the boulder cross the street and walk the trail headed east towards the route 1 bridge. There is a portion of the trail which is quite close to Riverside Drive, once the trail heads into the woods again start looking to your left and you will notice that there is quite the drop off. Quite quickly you will see an outcropping (aka the top of the boulder) and go on down and investigate ! It is quite a steep hill to get down to it so don't be dissuaded and think you've gotten off track , the bushwhacking is what makes RVA bouldering so great !
