Autobahn Boulder is a bouldering area in the Buffalo Ranger District of the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest in Arkansas, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with The Patio Boulders, The Plaque Wall and South Side & Albino Rhino Wall all about 0.1 mile away. The area has eight boulder problems, all rated on the V scale from V0- to V5. The easiest is Pre-Facto Sendo at V0-, and the hardest is Autobahn Traverse at V5. Bavarian Motor Works is a V3, and Post-Facto Nombre Direct is a V4. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Deer, Arkansas, run from highs around 64°F in April to 65°F in October, with July and August highs in the low 80s. That station sits about 676 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures at the climbing area run cooler. Sam's Throne is a hike 0.2 mile away, and Catacombs is 0.4 mile off. For paddling, Richland Creek is about 6.8 miles away and the Buffalo River is about 9.1 miles away.
