Entrance Boulders is a bouldering area in the Pusch Ridge Wilderness, part of the Santa Catalina Ranger District of Coronado National Forest in Arizona. The Forest Service manages the land, and the area sits within designated wilderness. The boulders are a cluster of rock formations rather than a single climb. The route count is 29, all bouldering, with grades ranging from V0 to V10. The easiest routes are Neo and Third Molar at V0, and the hardest is Time Under Tension at V10. The median grade is V2, so the area suits climbers of all levels. The Primus Wall and Zester cluster are both about 0.1 mile away, and the Wilderness of Rocks Domes is about 0.3 mile off. For a hike, Mint Springs is about 0.2 mile away.
