Camp 4 Boulders is a bouldering area in Yosemite National Park in California, managed by the National Park Service and set within the park's land units. It sits among several other climbing spots and trails, with Yosemite Falls Trail and Camp 4 West both about 0.1 mile away, and the Torque Spanner and Blue Suede Shoes boulders right next to it. The area is a cluster of boulders rather than a single crag, and it works well as a short stop or a base for exploring the surrounding routes. The bouldering here is the focus, with 34 boulder problems in the area and one traditional route. Grades run from V0 to V9 on the V scale, and the hardest problem is "Thriller" at V9. The boulders also host a single route on the YDS scale, "Bachar Cracker" at 5.10b, which makes this a place for both boulderers and climbers to find a challenge. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 70°F and October highs around 71°F, while July and August average highs near 89°F. A fee is charged here, as is the case across the park. For an overnight stay, Lower Pines Campground and North Pines Campground are both about 2 miles away.
