Flash Gordon Boulder is a bouldering area in California's Mount San Jacinto State Park, within the San Jacinto Ranger District of San Bernardino National Forest. The state park manages the land, and the area sits among several other climbing spots and trails, including Warm-Up Boulder and Dead Tree Boulder, both about 0.1 mile away. The boulders here range from V1 to V8, with six routes in total, all rated by the V scale. The Flash Gordon route, a V3, was first climbed by Frank Cornelius, and Flash Gordon Traverse (The Joshinator), a V8, was first climbed by Joshua Michael Golden. Chadinator is another V7. That makes this a compact crag with routes for climbers of all skill levels. Round Valley Trail and Desert View Trail are both within half a mile, and Marion Mountain and Black Mountain (San Bernardino) are a little over 5 miles away for fishing and camping.
