Slab bouldering in DMV area

I'm curious to know more about the slab bouldering available around the DMV area. Right now all I know of is one v4 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. If anyone has any recommendations, I would love to hear them. I'm mostly looking for areas close to Richmond and DC, and ideally in the v6-9 range (but I'll happily climb harder or easier if there's nothing good in that grade range). Thank you!

Second Mountain has some good harder slabs

Thank you! I'll be sure to check it out! How are the landings there? Are lots of pads required?

I'm sure you can also find enough slabby boulders on Old Rag to keep you content for quite a while.

If you're up for a roadtrip, Mt Gretna has good slabby high balls on diabase

Most are pretty tall, but have good landings from what I remember
