I just can't get enough of the ledge I jump off of. I seem to find an excuse to go there every afternoon.
Something about the weightless feeling when I'm falling makes me go back every day.
25' of awesome.
See ya! I'm headed there right now.

My favorite summer swimming spot is anywhere I can find some cool clean water...

Nice swimming holes and great bouldering
I was one of the early pioneers of bouldering in the BVI (with my ex) almost 30 years ago

SLR, have you been to The Baths?
I used to sail there every winter when I was a kid, really cool spot. I think it's on Virgin Gorda?

The Baths? Here is the beach at the Baths on Virgin Gorda
And the Baths itself
I used to think that there were only two major granitic island chains in the world - the British Virgin Islands (Caribbean) and the Seychelles Island (Indian Ocean). But last year I also vistied the granitic Similan Islands off Thailand and Myanmar (Burma).

This photo is from 1981 or 1982.. Bouldering with Rick Cashner, Don Reid, and John Bachar..(John was just out of the photo).....Bachar had been bouldering in the BVI's a couple of years before we vacationed there.
and yes...the baths are a cool swimming hole..(-;
edit: Sierra ledge rat..Yeah, it looks like the same boulder...Beautiful place...
Did you ever hang out at ..The Big Bamboo bar..on the beach?...That was the first place i saw a steel drum being played...Love that sound..
Brandon...dang, i could feasible be your Aunt...

Hey nita, you beat me by a couple of years.
I think this is the same boulder as in your photo, just taken from the opposite direction.

TT, you're correct. It's all about the swimming holes in your hood.
Headed to my local huck spot right now.

Not only a great place to cool off but only 5 minutes walk from one of the best sport crags in France.
