North End of Moore's Wall Closure

Please be aware that as of 4/9/2018, the North End of Moore's Wall is closed to all users due to a nesting site for Peregrine Falcons.

All climbing routes, bouldering and the access trail are closed.

Blue Ridge Parkway Closures

Work on the Lynn Cove viaduct began on March 1, 2018 and will run though March, April, and May with the parkway reopening around Memorial Day weekend.

This means that access to Ship Rock from the South is closed until the section reopens, but you can still get there from the North by parking at the Rough Ridge or Wilson Creek overlooks as normal.
