Dos Equis Boulder is a climbing area in California's Cleveland National Forest, within the Descanso Ranger District and managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of boulders, with Vasa Boulder, Library Boulder and Descanso Boulders all within about a tenth of a mile. The most comfortable months for climbing are typically May and September, when typical averages from the nearby Cuyamaca weather station run from highs in the upper 60s to the low 70s and wet days are few. That station sits about 1,200 feet below the boulders, so temperatures up high run cooler. The area has nine routes, including five boulders and one mixed route. Boulder grades range from V0 to V2, with the Most Interesting Climb in the World at V1 and first ascended by Alex Honnold in December 2017. The Climbers Approach Trail is about 0.3 miles away.
