Lucky's Boulder 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 climbing here is all bouldering, with five routes spread across a range of grades from V3-4 up to V11+. The most common grade is V9, and the hardest is the V11+ "2 Project." The routes include "Bawse Hog" at V3-4, "Shaky Bitch Stand" at V5, and "Lucky Goes For a Walk" at V9, all of which were first ascended by Matt Fowls. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Mt Lemmon Willow Canyon show May highs around 71°F and October highs around 68°F, while winter highs sit near 50°F. Several other climbing areas and trails lie within a short distance. Rick Ross, Gandalf's Gorge and The 8B Boulder are all about 0.1 mile away, and North Sabino Canyon Park is about 0.3 mile off. Spencer Canyon campground is roughly 0.9 mile away.
