Shaver Lake Bouldering is a bouldering area in the High Sierra Ranger District of Sierra National Forest in California. It sits within the forest's High Sierra district, and the nearest town is Shaver Lake. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Huntington Lake weather station show July and August highs around 74°F with lows near 49°F and only one or two wet days a month. That station sits about 1,500 feet lower than the bouldering area, so temperatures up high run cooler. Stevenson Creek, a canoeing spot, is just 0.4 miles away. The Wimovi Pluton and Ely Mountain climbing areas are each about 1.5 miles off. Dorabelle Campground, about 2.1 miles away, is the closest place to camp.
