Join a VIP Rock Show

Normally, 300-foot-high outcrops in the middle Atlantic Region attract climbers like enviros to an Al Gore Flick. But the Plunge, a granite-greenstone crag near Charlottesville, is red-rope exclusive. For access join OWLS Rock Climbing School’s Intensive Climbing Weekend ($195). You’ll learn to belay, anchor, and smear—the fine art of trusting all of your weight to a seemingly negligible foothold. “The rock has great texture, so you really gain purchase with your feet,” says owner Eric Henyon.
