Roadkill Rock is a bouldering area in California, about 3.6 miles from the town of San Lorenzo Park. The climbing here is all bouldering, with nine routes ranging from V0 to V7 on the V scale. It sits among several other climbing spots and trails, making it easy to pair with a longer outing in the area. The most comfortable time to visit is late spring through early fall. A nearby weather station records typical averages of highs around 67°F in May and 79°F in September, with only a few wet days in July and August. That station sits about 720 feet below the boulders, so temperatures on the rock may run a bit cooler. The closest neighbors are the Summit Rock Loop Trail and the Nature Nazi Boulders, both about 0.4 miles away, along with the Klinghoffers climbing area at the same distance. For paddling, the San Lorenzo River is roughly 9.5 miles off.
