Jupiter Boulders is a bouldering area on Bureau of Land Management land in California, within the Palm Springs/S. Coast Field Office. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Main Wall and Dry Falls both within about 4 miles. The bouldering here is all on the V scale, with six routes ranging from V0 to V7. The easiest is the unnamed V0, and the hardest is Terra Firma Cosmonaut at V7. Ice Pirates and Ilegal Alien are both V4, and Europa Low is V6-7. Winter and early spring are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Palm Springs weather station show January highs around 71°F and lows near 47°F, while summer highs climb into the mid-100s. That station sits about 780 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. Main Wall and Dry Falls are the closest climbing areas. The North Lykken Trail and Skyline Trail are both about 4 miles away for a hike.
