In-Town Bouldering is a bouldering area in Arizona, about half a mile from the town of Miller Valley. It is a compact, close-to-town spot for climbers who want to get on the rock without driving far. The area holds five bouldering routes, all rated from V1 to V8 on the V scale. The easiest is Nobsep at V1, and the hardest is Impossible Traverse at V8. Quest for Fire and Unknown are both V5. The routes are all boulders, so there is no rope climbing to plan for. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Prescott weather station show May highs around 76°F and October highs around 73°F, while July and August average about 90°F. The Centennial Trail starts just 0.3 miles away, and the Dog Leg Area and South Face climbing areas are each about 1.3 miles off. For an overnight stay, White Spar Campground is about 3.6 miles away.
