Description Suggest change

The Charcoal Exhibition Boulder is probably the most easily accessed climbing in all of Catoctin Mountain Park. Located directly next to the Charcoal Exhibit parking area, the long face features a series of low-angle climbs up a low face split by a prominent fissure down the middle. Landings are all on easy terrain and no routes are terribly exposed, making CEB a perfect warmup before tackling other areas in the park.

Getting There Suggest change

The Charcoal Exhibition Boulder is probably the most easily accessed climbing in all of Catoctin Mountain Park. The CEB is located adjacent to the south end of the parking lot at the end of the Charcoal Exhibit Trail.
