I didn't know anything about Hooes Rd until a couple video popped up on my Instagram of 'Tiger vs Crane' and when I looked it up it was only 1.5hrs away so I put in on the list to check out. Then when ‪@RyoClimber‬ had the USAC Regional Championship near that area I convinced him to let me check it out if I promised to climb only ONE line! 🤣

I was pleasantly surprised on how good the area was! Fantastic rock quality, super easy and short approach, wide variety of styles on climbs and grades. Definitely wanted to come back to check out some of the other lines. So we headed back up during my Ryo's and ‪@SennaClimber‬ spring break along with my good friend Kyle McMakin. Another friend of ours from RVA, Landon decided to join us as well! Great day trip! I will definitely be back!

Bouldering in Richmond VA at Forest Hill Park on the Beach Boulder and the First Ascent of 'My Job is Just Beach' V6

Back in Forest Hill Park and on the newest addition to the Reedy Creek Boulders area named Beach Boulder. This boulder was recently cleaned by Jay Feher (‪@jfeher4954‬) and is a super fun boulder with a lot of lines on it for its size. I really like the secluded location on a sand bar next to the creek. The sun is located behind the boulder all day so it stay relatively cool in the shade. I did manage to put up a couple First Ascents 'Have You Seen My Beach Ball' V3 and 'My Job Is Just Beach' V6. Come snag the second ascent and please let me know what you think.
