Got out today to start cleaning and developing the Quakin' Aspen area near Chain Bridge. Rappelled down a 70 ft buttress hoping it was as good up close as it looked from the ground. It was not. Loose rock and standard quarried feel to most of the cliff. The amount of vines covering was impressive, but wasn't an issue to clear. Always fun to rap in with a hedge trimmers clipped to your harness.
Found some good looking slabs that will work well. I'll be coming back to finish cleaning it and develop a few lines on this 50 ft beauty.
A few other walls of note. Very close to the parking lot on Rt. 123. Both have some good aid-able lines on them. The second is much more blank.
