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.

Winter Bouldering BLOWOUT!!!

The Winter Blowout is coming soon!!! If you've ever wanted to check out the prime boulders in the Jocassee Gorges, then you don't want to miss this!!!



We are having the late winter/early spring clean up and bouldering event next Saturday...plan to come help out with some spring cleaning of the parking areas for the various boulderfields in the Jocassee Gorges and then stay for some of the best pebble wrastlin in the state!  Here is a link to the event on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/380442348720956/), and below is the lowdown from Stephen Scoff...

Please join us in the Jocassee Gorges on March 2nd and 3rd for some quick and easy community service (a couple hours of trash pickup at parking pullouts) and a healthy dose of SC block action.

WHERE: Intersection of SC 178 and SC 11. (Holly Springs Grocery: In the gravel lot right of the store)

WHEN: Saturday March 2 @ 8:30 AM (If you are unable make this time let me know and we’ll make some arrangements)

If you missed the BIG Jocassee Gorges Trail Day back in December, then stop kicking yourself for being such a loser and make it out to this one.  With the daffodils blooming and buds on the trees popping, the prime SC bouldering season is quickly coming to a close...take advantage of this great opportunity to climb some new stuff with a great crew of psyched boulderers!!!   Come on out, pitch in with some community service, reward yourself with some fantastic bouldering, and enjoy relaxing with like minded folks around the bonfire!  If you have any questions, feel free to contact Stephen or myself through e-mail or post your concerns on the Facebook event page for quickest response.  Hope to see a lot of familiar faces and new ones just the same!
