GRAVEYARD FIELDS

     The Graveyard Fields are located on the Blue Ridge Parkway east of Black Balsm.  If the road is open then no climbing is allowed.  If it is closed expect a 6 to 7 mile approach from the intersection of Hwy. 215.  Mountain bikes seem to be the preferred method of approach.  The climbing consists of three cliffs with routes varying in height from 20 to 90 feet.  Most of the routes are in the grade 3- to 5- range with one grade 1+/2- slab located below the road.
