Hombre Cluster is a bouldering area on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, managed by the National Park Service. It sits within the Blue Ridge Parkway's stretch that crosses the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest, and it falls within the land units of the Glenwood and Pedlar Ranger Districts. The cluster sits right next to the Pebble Cluster and Lower Limits bouldering areas, making it a compact, close-together set of crags. The climbing here is all bouldering, and the routes range from V2-3 to V6-7. The Gorilla Mantle Project is a V4-5 boulder, and the Gorilla Traverse Project and Vanilla Gorilla are both V6-7. There's no fee to climb here, so you can head out without planning for a charge. The nearest climbing neighbors are Pebble Cluster and Lower Limits, each about a tenth of a mile away. The Harkening Hill Loop Trail and Johnson Trail are both about a mile off for a walk, and North Creek campground is roughly six miles away.
