Located 40 minutes from Baltimore, Rocks State Park offers quality trad and toprope routes in a scenic forested setting. The rock is hard and can eat up stopper placements. There is some fixed gear, but new fixed gear is banned. The prime time for climbing is late fall but winter climbing is possible because of the south-facing walls. Be aware of copperhead snakes as you hike the purple-blazed approach trail. Moby Dick Boulder is located right along the trail about halfway up to the main routes. It is a unique and impressive boulder with two problems.
