Abyss Boulder is a bouldering spot on Bureau of Land Management land within the Grand Junction Field Office in western Colorado. It sits in a tight cluster of problems, so a single outing can easily take in several boulders within a short walk of each other. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to climb here. Typical averages from a nearby Grand Junction weather station show October highs around 67°F and April highs near 65°F, while July averages reach the low 90s. Late Bloomer Boulder Area, Rib Cage Boulder and Bat Cave are all about 0.1 mile away. For camping, KOA Holiday lies roughly 5.5 miles off.
