Entrance Boulders is a bouldering area in Phoenix South Mountain Park, Arizona, on city-managed land. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Black Wall, The Big Roof and World Boulder all about 0.1 mile away, and The Studio about 0.2 mile off. The boulders here are the main draw, and the routes are all bouldering grades from V0 to V6, with the hardest at V6. The most comfortable months for a visit are winter and early spring. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in South Phoenix show January highs around 67°F and lows near 42°F, while summer highs climb into the low 100s. That station sits about 540 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run a little cooler. The climbing area has 16 bouldering routes, with grades ranging from V0 to V6. Among them are Gimmie Some at V0, Crown Jewel at V4 and Table Dance at V6. The closest trails for a walk are the Mormon Loop Trail and the Guadalupe Perimeter Trail, both about 0.4 mile away.
