Floor Pie Roof / Flying Saucer is a bouldering area in the Flagstaff Ranger District of Coconino National Forest in Arizona, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Priest Draw about 0.1 mile away and The Bat Roof about 0.2 mile away, making it easy to pair with other climbs in the area. The routes here are all boulders, and the grade range runs from V3 to V10. Floor Pie is a V6, and The Egyptian, also known as Action Deluxe, is a V10. Big Ed's Flying Saucer Low is a V5. The area is known for its bouldering rather than for any single route, and the climbing is close enough to other crags that a day here can easily include several stops. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Flagstaff show May highs around 68°F and October highs around 64°F, while July and August bring the most wet days of the year. Canyon Vista and Sandys Canyon are both about 3 miles away for hiking, and Lake Mary Recreation Corridor is about 3.9 miles away for fishing. Lakeview campground is about 6.4 miles away.
