Inform and Inspire

Welcome to Upstate Bouldering, designed around bouldering in the Upstate region of South Carolina. This website is intended to inform the reader of local spots in SC, Western NC and Northeast GA, as well as a blog of my experiences climbing at these great spots. I hope everyone learns of a new place to climb or is inspired to climb somewhere close to them. If you have any comments, please send me an e-mail.

Finishing Up In Portugal & Heading To Italy

We are finishing things up in Portugal and getting ready to head to Italy. Hopefully, we will find some rocks to climb on somewhere near the village of Manarola, one of the 5 villages of Cinque Terre. There isnt anything specifically listed on any websites or in any books for Cinque Terre. But, there is mention of "rock cliffs to climb up and jump off into the sea"...so that sounds like some sort of Deep Water Soloing to me. Hopefully, I'll post a blog with some pictures and info about the area in a few days.

After we go to Italy, we are heading to Interlochen, Switzerland. Its only a 6-7 hour round trip to the Magic Woods, but we dont have any extra time or days to go there, so hopefully I can find some boulders closer to where we are staying. After Switzerland, we are heading to Paris and then finally Fontainebleau!!! I'll definitely have some pictures and blogs about Font...so stay tuned for that.
