Rock scramblin' hikes 
My friends and I enjoy doing a little rock scrambling as an extra curricular activity when we go hiking.  I was curious if anyone has suggestions of where they've found a good place to do so (besides Old Rag)?

Thanks!

Duncan Knob has a nice little rock scramble up to the summit.

Re: Rock scramblin' hikes 
You might want to look into hiking Devil's Marbleyard. The "Marbleyard" is an amazing 8 acre area of large boulders that can be challenging to ascend for the average hiker. The trail itself is not part of the "Marbleyard", though most people play around on it.

 I climbed to the top and then descended, and it provided roughly an hour or so of constant climbing, requiring real effort and even some thought and consideration as to where to climb. Check it out!
