Coffee Enema Boulders is a bouldering area within Phoenix South Mountain Park in Phoenix, Arizona, on city-managed land. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots and trails, with Cyclops Corner about 0.2 miles away and the Striped Wall Area about half a mile off. The climbing here is all bouldering, with five routes spread across a range of grades from V1 to V6-7. Two of the named routes, Coffee Enema and Low Shelf Esteem, sit at V6-7, and Dusk Traverse is at V2. Coffee Enema was first climbed by Kyle G in April 2021. Winter and early spring are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 67°F and November highs around 74°F, while July averages climb to about 103°F.
