Lower Limits is a bouldering area on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, within the Glenwood and Pedlar Ranger Districts of the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest. The National Park Service manages the land, and there is no fee to visit. The area is a cluster of boulders with four routes, all bouldering, and grades range from V1 to V6-7. Worthy Warm-up is the easiest at V1, and Mike's Face Raking Project is the hardest at V6-7. The Hombre Cluster and Pebble Cluster are both about 0.1 mile away, so climbers can pair this spot with those areas in one visit. For time off the rock, the Harkening Hill Loop Trail and Johnson Trail are both about 0.9 mile away. Jennings Creek, roughly 3.9 miles off, offers canoeing, and North Creek campground is about 6.2 miles away.
