Upper Deck is a bouldering area on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, managed by the National Park Service. It sits within the Glenwood and Pedlar Ranger Districts of the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest, and the surrounding land units put it at the intersection of parkway, forest and ranger district boundaries. The area is a cluster of boulder problems. Eighteen routes are listed, all rated between V0 and V7+, with bouldering the sole style. The easiest are Great Flake and Belmont's Crack at V0, and the hardest is Bishop Slab Proj at V7+. Veiny Boulder and Nucleus Boulder both lie about 0.1 mile away, so climbers can move easily between them. The Harkening Hill Loop Trail and Johnson Trail are each about 0.9 mile off, and paddlers can reach Jennings Creek about 3.8 miles away.
