January 2022 Access update for bouldering at Catoctin The Park requests that the following boulders be effectively closed to climbing:Hog Rock trail area: Warfare/Knifewall and Chief Block/Gateway Fin Thurmont Vista area: Sudden/SmeltedChimney Rock (only the Chimney Rock area itself – the Pyramid Boulder is outside the area of concern)Mid Atlantic Climbers asks that the local climbing community respects this request in order to protect overall access to bouldering in the Park. See here for more info.The Smelted Boulder is a boulder just along the Blue Ridge Summit Overlook trail. Although low, there are many features on this boulder that make for interesting traverses and some steep, short, hard problems.
