Directions to park: From Winston-Salem take highway 52 to exit 122 (Moore - RJR Drive). Head east on Moore Road to an intersection with Route 66. Turn left on Route 66 to Moore's Spring Road. At Moore's Spring Road take a right and go 1/2 mile to Mickey Road. Right onto Mickey Road (sign for Stoney Ridge Baptist Church marks turn). Next a right onto Charlie Young Road. Another 1/2 miles to a right turn onto a dirt road called mountain road. (Across from a parking area) Follow this dirt road up hill as far as your vehicle will make it and climbing is a short walk up hill.

Bouldering Info:
Some of the best bouldering in North Carolina can be found at Moore's. Most people know of the boulders right below Sentinel Buttress, along the trail of the cliff. But there is a seperate litter of boulders called "Trail Side", "Diamond", "Euro Wall", along with others. When driving up Charlie Young Rd. to get to Tory's Den Pakring area, instead of taking the unpaved Mountain Rd that leads to Moore's Wall walk back down Charlie Young Rd. until you get to a Horse/Hiker trail that will will be on your left. Follow this grueling trail for 2 miles. Always remember to take a left at each sign (easiest way to remember). The trail splits twice, just remember to stay left. After the 2 mile hike, you will see many boudlers to your left. If you keep hiking down the trail you'll find more to your right, and also, through the thick brush to the left of the trial is a great wall for bouldering called "Euro Wall." Many problems along the trail that'll keep you busy for years.
