Linda Vista Bouldering 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 bouldering here is all on rock, with 20 routes spread across the boulders. The grades run from V1-2 up to V12-13, so there is something for climbers of all levels. The hardest route, Project (Eviction Notice SDS), is listed at V12-13, and Tiny Cities Made of Ashes is at V10. The Blind Mole's Tunnel is a V3-4, and Various Slab Lines is a V1-2. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show March highs around 75°F and October highs around 87°F, while June and July average in the low to mid 100s. Several other climbing and hiking spots are close by. Swerve Boulder and Linda Vista Wall are both within a quarter mile, and the Pusch Peak Trail and Linda Vista hike are about 0.1 mile away. For an overnight stay, Sabino Canyon Recreation Area Cactus Ramada 1 is about 9 miles off.
