Northwest Branch has some great boulders with sharp crimps, quartz crystals and unfortunately some graffiti.If you haven't been, it’s a beautiful wooded and boulder-strewn ravine, nestled between suburban neighborhoods in Silver Spring, MD.
Come out and help to preserve and protect this local climbing resource as we clean up trash and debris, and do trail maintenance.
