Access Issue: Private Land-gate closed and locked by nightfall. Details

Sugarloaf is a privately owned recreation area. The park is closed at night and the gate is locked. Allow enough time to pack, hike, and drive out the oneway road to the gate before it is locked.

Description

Two blocks in the woods just downhill from the road going between the East View and West View areas.

See the videos if you want to see other people do climbing.

No names are known, nor exact first ascent persons or times, so names were invented just to have some. They can always be changed.

Getting There

These two boulders are actually quite easy to get to and the approach with the least amount of bushwhacking involves dropping down to them from the road above. To take that approach you can either park to the west at the west view parking lot area and hike the road east, or park in the long series of parking spaces to the east and hike west. From uphill you can see the biggest block and it isn't impressive. The downhill side is what you are after. I don't recommend approaching from the Potomac Overlook parking area, too much side-hill bushwhacking and the walk is longer anyway.
